I made my first gouda several weeks ago, but it appears I did not do such a good job waxing. Last week I noticed a small pinprick-sized hole in the wax and it looks like the cheese underneath is getting black and discolored. Now what do I do? Should I cut the round open, discard the offending parts and reseal it? Thanks

Yep, exactly. Wax off, clean from mold, and seal. When you seal, dip repeatedly to get a good seal.
