Infected Comb? Help!

[FRlEDeggs]

Cricket, our Welsummer pullet has multiple scabs and wounds on her comb, and we are unsure of the causes. It seems like they have been there for a few days because they are half-healed.
Part of her comb is puffy, and you can see something yellow underneath which we think is puss. We have applied Neosporin, and will keep doing that for the next few days. Will that help? What do you guys suggest? We have Red-Kote but I don't want the other hens to pick on her and make it worse. Pictures are below.

Anyone??

And on a side note- She also has extremely watery poop. It's almost all water

Do a search for Fowl Pox. That's what it looks like to me.
Edit: Excellent pictures, by the way. Thank you.

I am fairly new to chickens, but am wondering whether this might be avian (fowl) pox? Here is a link with information and pictures. Are there any other symptoms? https://www.backyardchickens.com/LC-diseases-AvianPox.html

I agree about the fowl pox. Also, I might would make a small opening oh that comb to express the pus. Keep applying ointment and keep it separated from the others if possible until healed.

Is it possible she's getting pecked by another of your chickens?

It is possible, but I can't be sure..
I am about to go poke her comb and let the puss out, and hopefully isolate her for a bit
