Early signs of dry fowl pox - looking for added advice (like should I quarantine?)

@Wyorp Rock & @Eggcessive - Thank you both so so much!

Already got the scab off and the wound treated. Saw a little of that white pus stuff inside (but not much) and got out what I can. Treated with Betadine and Neosporin.

Oh, and yes, it was a little on the softer side? A bit hard to tell since the scab is hard and the swollen wattle itself is very puffy & soft.

So relieved about the fowl pox false alarm. I'm sure she'll be happy about the end of quarantine!

Sorry about the blurry photos. She doesn't want me anywhere near her wattles now.

Final Update: Leslie is fully healed! It took a couple days for the swelling to go away. I noticed last night (when checking them on their roosts) that her scab came off.

Thanks again so much for the help! Thanks to you all, I was able to act fast and get her healed up quick before the infection got worse.

There's a tiny off-colored spot, so I'll be keeping an eye on it to make sure that goes away soon.
