I am sorry to hear about your dog. If he is a dog who tries to escape his crate and these could be wounds from excessive rubbing of his face on the bars, you can try a topical antibiotic ointment. We do, however, worry when we have lesions on the nose or where the skin of the nose meets the fur about immune disorders like lupus which require veterinary care. I would recommend bringing him to the vet for an exam if he is not an excessive rubber on the cage bars.
