No, wounds don't make them shed more. They shed when they grow.
Don't worry that the skin is folded in a little bit, that is normal for a wound. They important thing is to keep him clean, fed, and watered until his next shed. I strongly recommend buying Betadine from the pharmacy. It is hospital grade antibacterial.
How often do you feed him now and how much? You (might) be able to increase his food intake to help assist his growth since he is still a juvenile.
