is that bonsai yours?

ridiculously off topic...

And i'm not sure what you can do.
I would put the BTS on paper towels
so no substrate gets stuck to it and wait
until it sheds.
 
should heal up fine.

try using some triple anti-biotic ointment on it. the bacatracin should work as well. keep it clean and you should have no problems.

Neosporin should work fine. When I got my import spilotes in they had some spots where the sacale rubbed off and it was red. The vet told me to put them on newspaper or papertowls and use neosporin. I was told if it got worse then bring them back in.
