Granulation tissue: That slightly squishy lump is called granulation tissue. It is your body making new tissue to fill the defect. It is sore to touch and bump because there are new nerve endings in there. You should not try to get rid of it as over time it will turn into normal scar tissue. To make it less sore, cover with a padded bandage.
