Just recently within maybe the last 2 weeks my adult corn has developed a scab sort of thing on his nose. None of the others have got anything on them, just this one. I don't know how to upload photos but this is the link to the photo on dropbox

Worried incase its anything more serious than him just bumping his head!

Is he an adult? hes probably caused it 'glass dancing' looking for a lady, just keep an eye on it, if it starts to look infected clean with salt water. if not a couple of sheds should have it sorted

^^ This.

Could also be caused by a too rough log/rock?

Nothing to worry about unless it starts seeping. It looks pretty closed and it should be clear up in a few sheds.
