sore in nose rope

[Capebullies]

My old guy has an open ulcerated sore in his nose rope. I noticed a bit of blood a few days ago when cleaning him and this is what I found. He's almost 10 and haven't seen anything like this on him before. It's been a few days now and I've gently cleaned it and applied Animax but it's not getting any better and may even be a bit bigger. I'll make a vet appointment today, but wondered if anyone has dealt with something like this before?

I’d have a vet confirm it isn’t anything to worry about, after that… clean with witch hazel and apply desitin to keep dry, as needed

NuStock. Jake use to have some till I put him on full raw. Added NeStock in them folds and never came back. But I also did make a point on daily basis to always take a dry paper towel to keep them folds dry
