Hi

Please have it vet checked after the weekend. It is a very superficial wound, which could be self-inflicted because of pain or mange mites discomfort. If a white crust is forming on it, then it is ringworm with the exudate crust just come off.

We cannot tell you. The underlying causes all require different treatment.
