BGD,
That's hard to say right now - Please just keep an eye and if it develops, go see a GP straight away. If it is an abscess, it will need proper medical attention and possibly draining.
Other than that it could be a hem or the formation of a Sentinel pile (especially if this is forming in the area where the fissure was), but these do tend to be soft and more fleshy like rather than hard. I wouldn't stress too much - just be vigilant about it. Fingers crossed, it's nothing to worry about for you.......Take Care.
