Quote from: davina61 on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 11:31:10 AMMy GP treated the granulation with silver nitrate after talking to Bellringer, only needed one treatment. That right side where I had a hematoma after sugary has never been comfortable, I gave up dilating but then I should have just gone minimal.
Glad to hear you are doing okay and are happy with the results.

You may have said this before Davina, and if so I apologise, but did they do anything about the hematoma? Did they offer to treat it? Have they ever acknowledged the issues you have had?

I'm really hoping mine will be a one hit job with the silver nitrate. I feel good and the odour just vanished but who knows?

One thing I did read about is to lay off the manuka honey for 7-10 days after the silver nitrate treatment because the two things work in different ways and you can affect the way the s.n. is working on the tissue.

I'm so sorry again for the issues you had Davina.

It burst/ cleared after a few days, might be when it sloughed but that was the place that needed the nitrate. Not bothered TBH as not with anyone and unlikely to be, quite happy doing my own stuff. I am the strange old lady covered in dust and oil that drives like an F1 driver!!!

Quote from: Tills on October 20, 2026, 11:48:20 PMOne other thing to mention: some sites suggest several follow up silver nitrate treatments are needed. There is no mechanism at Parkside for such appointments so I have to wait until Dec 01st for my regular 3-month check up when further silver nitrate will be applied if needed.

Mr Bellringer did offer me to treat myself at home with silver nitrate, but having previously read some horror stories about doing this DIY I declined.

I had Bellringer do silver nitrate 7 weeks after surgery in Wimbledon - it was an amazing effect, in 2 days the skin had basically healed over and no more bleeding or any granulation - I would not do it myself personally, it is nasty stuff and the guy knows what he is doing.. one treatment for me and everything was sunshine..

That's really encouraging Sarah, thank you.

Tentative signs are similar. An amazing amount of gunk came out the first 24 hours after the treatment, since when I feel healed. That horrible granulation odour vanished instantly. The fact that I felt up to a 7 mile hike yesterday tells me things are coming right now.
