It would be easier for me to give advice if I could see a photo of what you are referring to. I am not exactly sure what you mean by "cage burn". If you could post again with a photo or two we may be able to help you better. Without seeing it, I would say you could probably use something like Neopsorin. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
