Area under the scar

My hospital has a system where I can send messages to my doctors. So, today I sent the following:

I am 4 weeks post op for Thyroidectomy. I have an area below the incision that has been growing since after the operation. Is it anything to worry about or can it wait a few more weeks for my second follow-up? This picture is me laying in my back: 


The area appears to be very solid to the touch. It itches. It is easily irritated by a shirt collar. I am not running  a fever. It was perhaps half the size when I was in the hospital and at that time I was told it was fine.

Hopefully the surgeon responds and tells me it is fine and there is nothing to worry about.
