Ha that’s gonna bleed and turn that bird pink. Big thick scissors to get it off quick would work better than Little scissors sawing at it.
Personally if that was my bird I would leave him alone. If his comb is that big and healthy I’d say he’s eating and drinking just fine.

If he’s truly having problems walking and with his neck then I guess you probably should. Technically you don’t need to cut off the whole comb. It would be easier to cut it off about half way up before it folds over. He might look a little goofy though.
There are things you can do to lessen the bleeding too. You can take away his water for a day or so, give vitamin k. To be honest I’ve never dubbed a comb that thick at the base but dunking his head in ice cold water could help immediately after slow down the bleeding.

I've antibiotic topical named Suframycin and Betadine
And a antiseptic cream Boroline
Any you suggest will be helpful..
Or any medicine I can give in water for pain or drying wound

Since you only have one rooster to do you shouldn’t have any problems. You can always apply pressure if it’s really bleeding.
I use DE or ash from a fire. I just dump a handful right on their head to completely cover it. Sometimes I’ll do it a few times. It will help the blood clot and scab up.
You don’t need any medicine for him. Just make sure his nostrils are clear if dried blood so he can breathe normally. Don’t worry afterwards either they look terrible for about two weeks.
