Can someone tell me what is causing this sore on my Bourbon Red tom’s wattle?

Hi, I’ve been watching this sore on Mr Tom’s wattle for a couple weeks now. Originally I was afraid it was Fowl Pox or something of the sort, but it hasn’t spread to any other part of his head or to any other flock member. When I first noticed it, it was black and now it’s fading to an ashy gray. He is my only Tom and I’m thinking it’s from the sharp point on his beak. Can anyone confirm? If that’s what it is, what can be done about it?

I don't have turkeys, but first blush it looks like a callous from the tip of his beak constantly hitting that spot. A beak trim/filing might be in order?

I would put sopme Neosporin on it and see how it does. It may have started from an insect bite, a scratch or a bite from another turkey.
