Tweak started getting what looked kind of a cut on the tip of his lip, now i got worse... Last night a scale on the lip broke off where the cut looking thing was. Now there is a triangler area in the front of his mouth where is gums are exposed... Does this need to be treated? Will it grow back? im worried.  picture of it |

What happened? Was he rubbing it? Keep it clean with diluted betedine solution. It will heal but will never look as nice as it did. My male had serious damage to his snout, and you can see the missing scales.

This should have a vet looking at it. This sounds like a secondary infection to an injury of some apparently unknown origin. Keeping it clean with diluted Betadine using enough water to have it looking like weak tea may not be enough. A round of antibiotics should also be administered if this is an infection. You don't want this going systemic.
