I had bi-lateral laparoscopic hernia surgery on May 20th. The surgeon used the stitches that disingrate and then she put that clear glue over the 3 incision sites. My smallest lowest site's glue finally came off today - the other 2 still have the glue attached. But when I touched the scar for the 1st time with the glue off - there is a tiny bump - like the size of a pea under it. Is this normal? Is it scar tissue? Will it eventually go away on it's own? Can I do anything to make it go away?

Mine had a small bump too. It actually later started to really sting and left the scar with a larger circle in it. I would recommend checking with a doctor, but i don't think it is anything serious. Probably just scar tissue, but I know mine caused me some slight pain.
