Looks amm burn for sure. We need more info from the OP "the whole story" because to me the picks look like a very small tank and I don't see the filtration. What is being suggested may not help in the long run if the tank is just over stocked. Please give us all your tank info, size, filtration, all water parameters, size and amount of stock, how long has the tank been running, and so on.
+1I'd do a 70% water change make sure temp is up to 89 and add a good amount of salt, then I'd do 30% water changes everyday adding salt each time until the eye's are cleared up and the wounds are healed.
...Then I'd change those awful rocks to bare bottom or sand...
Also, make sure there is some cover in your tank away from the heaters location in your tank, even if it's just one or two tall plants... Just in case these wounds we are seeing are being caused by sleeping around the heater and getting burned causing these wounds. If there is no cover in the tank for them to sleep around at night I have seen pbass sleep around or behind the heater and get burned, just keep this in mind.
/IF/ you dump in any sort of ammonia-neutralizing chemicals, WATCH OUT! They will deplete the oxygen in your tank in a heartbeat. Better to just suck it up and do those giant water changes! Make sure that water is treated and not super cold, either.
If your tank has ANY ammonia, and 0 for nitrites and nitrates, you've either had a biological filter crash (check that pH, and make sure it's not below 6.5) or that tank is new.
+1 on simple wc
-1 on nasty chems

That is not true. Ammolock will do no such thing, and water changed can carry on regardless. Why leave a toxic substance in there, diluted, when it can be rendered non toxic?
