Hole on TT incision was not healing after a stitch spit over 6 weeks ago. Doc made the hole a lot bigger and used a silver nitrate stick (it hurt like a !#%^*) and it's still hurting 24 hours later. I'm afraid it may be infected. It hurts a good bit and the gunk now coming out of it is pretty gross (kinda looks like brownish yellowish snot). I can't find much info online about what to expect when it comes to pain and exudate after silver nitrate
