Hi, I had my nose cauterised using silver nitrate two weeks ago and all seems ok except that in the week that followed I was aware of the nostril being slightly blocked.

I deliberately didn't touch it in case it disturbed the initial procedure and after seven days a small hardish black substance surrounded by a yellowy gooying substance freed itself.

Just wondering if this is normal and is it just the excess silver nitrate coming free or should I be concerned that the procedure failed?

Touch wood all is ok and I haven't had any further bleeds.

Any advice much appreciated!
