Skin part needs to be treated as it was infected. Disinfection with diluted betadine solution or salted water. Antibiotics may be needed as well, depending on the severity of it. I would anyway recommend a check up at your local vet. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
