Is scar tissue build up normal?

I am almost 5 months post op. The last time i was to see the doc I was told on one spot on the belly right under the incision line I had a build up of scar tissue. It was normal and nicely healed incision. In the past week I have noticed right at that spot I have developed what i think is a hematoma It is dark in color and is raised like puffy and the top skin in that area has thinned out. And still hard around the edges and a bit red and at times sore. Has anyone experienced this? I think it is weird at almost 5months and i don't see my doc for another two weeks. Thanks to anyone who can shed some sense on this one.
