Wounds can be treated with plain old betadine. But if it gets infected, most of time antiobiotics from the vet will be needed, as bacteria can make them quite sick. Other than that, keep him dry and warm. If he tends to soak in his water a lot, take his water out or only offer a shallow dish. Warm, moist wounds are great grounds for infections to start.
If you are ever worried about anything on your repitle, don't wait for replies here. Make an appointment with your nearest reptile-orientated vet as soon as possible.
