Is this Fowlpox? Injury? Something else?

As title says, is this fowlpox? The first two photos are from about 10 days ago, the last one from tonight. It was the best photo we could get at bedtime. Thanks, we're new chicken keepers.

It looks like an injury. Is there any scabbing on the face or wattles?

No, its just across the comb. she's been eating and drinking normally, and laying every day. She's also at the top of the pecking order in our 4 hen flock. She does free range daily for a few hours so I guess maybe she could have injured then> My friend just noticed it tonight. Thanks!

Should we put something on it or leave it alone?

It will heal on it’s own, but Betadine, or Neosporin could be used on it.

OK thanks! we'll do that in the morning. I have Vetericyn, would that work as well as neosporin?
