Popped stitch csection incision? Warning picture in post

Am 2 weeks post section and while most of the incision is healing beautifully about a quarter of it has gone red and sort of popped out. It's also suddenly very painful when I do certain movements e.g. was squatting down to DS (who is 2) earlier and when I stood up there was a sharp burning pain on that part of the incision. Enough to make me gasp. Going to call doc in morning but obviously am stressing now that I've done too much and set my healing back. Anyone had similar? This end of the incision was never as neat but it's worse now.

My wound opened up in middle which shocked me and I rang hospital who said that sometimes that just happens and that it would close by itself which it did. It literally just shut overnight.
Yours looks like a keloid to be honest, and I would go and get it looked at.

Are you still under HV care? (I was at 2 weeks pp). They normally have a number you can call and they'll see you tomorrow I expect. I've no experience but I'm sure this is common
