I agree that you should be keeping his enclosure clean and using polysporin, but a mysterious injury like that would have me frustrated beyond believe if my vet said it was from eating.

The only other thing I can think of is that it is a rash/deterioration of some sort similar to scale rot, how that is possible I don't know. Personally I would be looking for another vet, but for now just keep him clean and closely monitor his progress. Bring him back to your vet if he does not improve and hopefully your vet will start looking at other potential causes.

On another note, does anyone know if scar tissue can be more susceptible to damage from expansion during eating? If there was previous scar tissue I would assume you could notice it before so I don't know if I am just shooting in the dark here.
