Granulated scar tissue ( Probably for Sqad)

I sliced my finger nail off 7 weeks ago and have had a wound that will not heal. It has a bump/blister has appeared in place of the nail. This weeps and bleeds then hardens then softens and goes up and down. Have occasionally bathed in weak dettol. Had some antibiotics first week of June. It has been painful again over last few days and I think maybe it has got infected again. I have had Non waterproof plasters on this. Medical person who I know advised some silver nitrate to cauterize. Can you give your advise please?
