Perineum tear help!

Hi, so I had my DS2 one week ago today. Had a 2nd degree perineum tear.

It hasn't been sore at all this time unlike with DS1 when I had a episiotomy which ended up infected.

I was having a look to see how things where and above where the tear is there is a white 'knot' like thing. I'm freaking out because I can't find anything on google about it. It's not sore and the MW was here 2 days ago and said it looked fine but I've only just noticed the white thing today..

Any help would be great x

I assume it would be stitches?
They tie the end inside because you can't sit on knots. If it's not sore, then carry on with what you're doing, keeping it clean etc. If you're still concerned, or it hasn't gone, ask the midwife.
