Hi there,

7 weeks ago, I performed a PNA with phenolisation on a male patient, 20 years old. The same proecedure had been performed on the patient last year but unfortunately not enough of the nail was removed and I had to redo it. Anyway, there were no complications.
For 1-2 weeks now, there has been hypergranulation from the wound, and it also appeared infected. I advised the patient to get antibiotics from his GP, which he did. The hypergranulation tissue did not disappear. I have now applied silver nitrate, but thought I would ask whether anyone's got any thoughts on this... Like, how often do you usually apply the silver nitrate?
Understandably, after several months with this, the patient is finding te experience increasingly distressing...
