But what you need to do asap is to get flamazine ( silver sulfadiazine cream) and apply to the wounds 2-3 times daily.
Quarantine enclosure is a must- wet papertowels, changed daily, plastic plant to create a hide of sorts, all 4 sides should be covered with smth to create as stress free environment as possible. Temp / humidity as usual.

If you cant find flamazine you can use any antibiotic cream without painkillers. Watch the guy, if no better within 5-7 days or getting worse you will need to go to a vet for systemic antibiotics.

Please answer the the questions i posted, because you will need to fix whatever caused this. Most likely stress, they jump on a walls or lid in severe stress situations. But we'll see, may be it is smth different.

Sorry we missed your initial call for help . Need to follow Lija's advice ASAP. Other options if can't find the Flamazine are other silver based antibiotics with no painkillers; plain Neosporin; Sulfanilamide powder; and Enrofloxacin (Baytril). Good luck and hope it gets better !
