I am wondering if Just Ducky 10 might be on to something he maybe rubbing his bill on the cage and causing this. Boredom can cause them to do strange things. Try and find a bird mirror for him if you can't get him a buddy, sometimes just being able to see another duck will keep them calmer and happier. You can put ACV into his water that can help kill any bacteria from the open places and then use Neosporin or Veterycin on the places and yes for sure nothing with pain relief in it. Peroxide only once just to clean, it can harm good tissues if used too often.Sorry took a while got distracted with work but this black area started as a bruise - pink purple color then turned black and you can also see that tiny bump on side of upper bill
This spot in middle already kinda dried off but it'll be the second time by now and the bump looking thing on side
He gets fresh water everyday, he mainly eats crumbles mixed with grain/cracked corn combination, some dried meal worn in the morning. Other treats occasionally like beans, peas, corn, deli meats but nothing extreme. I haven't looked for the Veterycin yet and I thought we had Hydrogen Peroxide but didn't and that's why I just dabbed with alcoholHe's in a cage when we're out and he doesn't play in the dirt or grass.
