Bulging on corners at higher layer heights

Hi! I have been trying to get my PLA prints cleaner but I have noticed that when I print at higher layer heights such as 0.2 I get bulges on the corners of my cube, when printing at 0.15 its still there but less noticeable and when printing at 0.1mm the corners are pretty sharp. I have tried to adjust the linear advance, but this introduced holes in the surface of the prints with the K value that was needed to get them sharper.
I also notice the surface finish fo the 0.1 mm print is much smoother too.

Printing on a 0.4mm nozzle and I have tried three different Esun PLA colours, some geetech PLA and prusament with the same result.

Three prints with layer heights 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2mm to test the corner bulging:
