Looks like physical damage to me. I'd recommend frequent water changes and see if it improves.

I agree it looks like an injury and to do water changes. I would also remove anything that has rough edges. The added salt can also help him to heal quicker.

Especially the one in the picture with the small holes that it may try to get through for food particles...
