Soft Shell Injury

My Softshell has a small cut / wound on his neck. It is a small red scratch / cut, but I have no idea how to treat an aquatic animal ?

It very may not need treatment, but any help would be cool!

She is eating and otherwise very healthy, but.... ?

Hmmm, ok ill first state I am no expert, I did have a red-eared slider who had a very large bite wound on her neck form a large male she was living with. As strange as it may seem I believe I just washed it out with an Iodine based soap (diluted) you could maybe apply polysporin, keep her tank water VERY clean too avoid infection, it should heal up just wash it regularly.
