AnswerDear Tasha,
Could this have been the cause of a fight? If there are other hamster(s) in the cage it might have been fighting. Since you can't take him to a vet, I guess you could try putting a disinfectant cream (but try it on a cut you have to make sure it doesn't sting,I know it sounds like I want you to get hurt but I don't. If it hurts a little on you, imagine it on an animal 1/1000 of your size... :,( ow.
I don't know what else you can do.Sorry I haven't been of much help.
