Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. I am unable to assess the damage.

It sounds like an infection, which in container is usually caused by overwatering. Cutting without treating can result in worsening of the condition.

I would recommend a fungicide, and to make sure that the soil in the container dries down to about 2 or 3 inches between waterings.

Here are some articles that will help:
