Answer
Your question was sent to the pool but I will answer it.

I am not sure what a "bumb/soar" is but I assume you are describing a mouth injury. If it turns to mouth rot infection it will be fatal if it spreads to his bone, or to the lungs. You don't know that it's not affecting him, because reptile hide symptoms of pain and illness so as to not be targets in the wild.

He needs to see a vet to determine what is wrong.
