Perineum issue

So i had My baby 3 months ago now, normal delivery with 2nd degree tear!!
I noticed at 8 weeks that my perineum felt what i can describe as flabby skin on one side only!! Now iv never had pain from it nor discomfort to have noticed anything had gone wrong with my stitches!!
I have tried to google (i know bad idea) but can i find anywhere what I'm describing... no!! Im just wondering if anyone else has had similar experience!

When iv looked its bright pink and seems to have a hang, i feel like i should go to the doctors but given in the current situation i didn't want to waste doctors time to be told..'oh its rather normal'

I had a 3rd degree tear with stitches that burst apart about 3 weeks after giving birth. So obviously different situation to yourself but I have a very strange perineum nowadays! It doesn’t have a hang as such, more has a little pocket Blush as described by the consultant at my review. The whole thing very much looks like it’s been torn apart and put back together slightly wonky (which is what happened really I suppose) with one part kinda gathered like if you do your buttons up wrong. He advised is completely normal after my experience and that will stay like that forever. So unfortunately I will always look like Freddie Kruger got my baby out but it doesn’t have any health issues and my partner insists it doesn’t bother him! Hope that sorta helps, sorry for my poor descriptive skills Grin
