dydx,
That white spot could be the bone.... indicating a dry socket that needs to be treated by the oral surgeon. This indicates that the clot either did not form properly at the onset or it was disturbed early on.
You are not going to form a clot because the stuff oozing out is blood filled with bacteria. The site needs to be treated as I mentioned. He may need to debride the socket and get some blood flowing in there to deliberately form a new clot. That is not something you can achieve yourself at home.
Please go back and see the oral surgeon.
