You have to cut/peel it to healthy tissue. Otherwise it will start rotting along the P-stem and you own't win the fight. Do small slices, 0,5cm deep until you are sure there's only healthy tissue below. Sometimes it happened to me that there was a completely healthy tissue and 5cm below it was a rotting ball, so the naner didn't grow. You have to locate and cut off the lowest rotting point. If you do that, the cut wound will seal and get brown/black, but iit will show signs of new growth within a week.
If you don't remove it, you risk spreading that rot also to corm.
