Human Factors; Weather
A visual approach was accomplished to runway XXR. Winds reported from the south approximately 60 degrees off runway heading at 11 knots. Crosswind controls were applied but not to the proper extent. This resulted in a touch down with slight crab. Two additional factors contributed to the situation. In attempting to touchdown smoothly some back pressure was maintained and full weight was not on the main gear. In addition the pilot inadvertently applied small right brake pressure. The aircraft veered towards the right side of the runway. Pilot corrected left and in doing so overcorrected. The left correction and right crosswind combined to cause a slight skid to the left. The aircraft nose remained pointed to the left edge of the runway. The pilot decided not to aggressively correct back right to prevent additional pilot induced oscillations. The aircraft rolled to left edge of the runway. The pilot initiated a go-around for a second successful landing. The aircraft movement to the edge of the runway resulted in propeller damage in the form of one nick; approximately 1/4 - 3/8 inch in length on the leading edge of one blade; the other side with two small scores on the leading edge.
C182 pilot reported difficulty with handling a crosswind landing which resulted in some minor propeller damage.
