Foot injury ?

[Melgug]

I just noticed a piece of mud or poop on my 5 week old chickens toe. I soaked it in warm water and got it to come off. However, it totally left an indent and his foot is misshapen! It looks like his toe nail could easily be pulled off it is like dangling on from the indent. Is he ok? What can I do to help?? Also, how do I keep this wound clean? Thank you!!!
