Granulation tias

Hello. Has anyone had granulation tissue grow along their episiotomy and / or their tears following childbirth?

I had the tissue grow after my first child - 7 years ago! GP said it happens and to remove it would be surgery, that could then result in more scar tissue and the cycle begins. So I left it.

Had another baby, one tear. Looks like that also has granulation tissue at the site.

Ive never asked to follow up. But now, years later I’m fed up of this ugly tissue. It’s sometimes tender during sex and then sore a day or so later on the side of the episiotomy, otherwise no daily issues.

Ive read about silver nitrate being used to remove the tissue. Has anyone dealt with this? Has anyone just lived with it? Do other women have lumps and bumps following childbirth?

Thank you x
