HELP with facial injury!

Posted by xta on July 08, 1999 at 23:01:50:

Any suggestions on best way to treat badly damaged scales near the mouth? Sleestack looks horrible after a stay at a friend's house & his scales have turned black & swollen around the outer front mouth area. I have been applying Neosporin but worry because it is easy for him to lick & I don't think that is safe. Is there anything that is safe to ingest so I could apply it more liberally & even a little inside just to protect him against infection?? I don't want this to turn into something worse than it already is. He is eating and acting fine now that he is home. Thank you for any suggestions...
