Black incision at stitches after laparoscopic surgery

Hi everyone, recently I had a laparoscopic surgery. Today I had removed my padding for the first time after the surgery, and one of the incisions has me worried, it looks kind of different than the 3 other incisions in terms of color.

The cut itself is black and on the one side of the incision the skin has a red bump.

What has me worried is the black color, that might indicate necrosis?

Picture attached, any help is appreciated whether this is normal.
