Granulation tissue
This has nothing to do with either granulomas or granulomatous inflammation.
Granulation tissue is formed as part of the healing and repair process.
Granulation tissue is so named, because it has a granular appearance when viewed grossly.
Granulation tissue is the initial response to a wound and consists of a richly vascular connective
tissue, which contains new capillaries, abundant fibroblasts, and variable numbers of
inflammatory cells. Do not confuse with the term granuloma.

Eschar: A necrotic mass of tissue.

       : Sloughed off dead tissue caused by burn or cauterization.

        An escharotic is a substance that causes the tissue to die and slough off (eschar) and includes acids,
        alkalies, carbon dioxide, metallic salts, or electric cautery.

        A dry slough, crust, or scab, which separates from the healthy part of the body,
        as that produced by a burn, or the application of caustics.
