Small bump on eye like Granuloma

Here’s the short, corrected version: --- I had pterygium surgery 1 month ago. After 1 week, a small bump appeared where the pterygium was removed.  It shrinks little when I use steroid ointment, but comes back after in its original shape. My doctor suggested using steroid eye drops for another month. Should I wait, or will I need surgery again?  If surgery is needed, will it require autografting like the first pterygium surgery?
