Thank you for the concern. According to history lump is noticed around episiotomy scar and there is painful intercourse. Lump near the episiotomy scar may be swollen gland or keloid. Steroid injection can be benefit in keloid and surgical revision may be needed for swollen glands. So as early as possible consult your treating Gynaecologist for the management of this lump.
