So my surgeon just did the silver nitrate on a granulation tissue i had at the entrance, its all gray for now. Is it fine to dilate or should i wait?

Yep, it can stain your skin for about 2 weeks or so. It may look scary but it isn't!

How long you can delay dilation depends on where you are in recovery. Don’t make even bigger problems for yourself.
