Loss of spikes!

I noticed that my female Chinese Water Dragon had lost some of her spikes on her crest . I was wondering if there is anything I can do do help her heal and if anyone has had anything similar happen, I don't know how she lost them but I'm thinking either she was attacked by her cage mate or fell of her branch or something.

I would be grateful for any advice.

It looks like she MAY have been attacked, the injury looks like its atleast a day or 2 old. Just put some neosporin on it and keep it clean. It should heal up nice and easy for you...Im not sure what type of substrate you use, just make sure it dosnt get in the cuts or neosporin, you may want to switch to paper towels for a couple weeks good luck

I use Repti-carpet for the CWDs. I noticed that she looked funny the other day but I couldn't pin point why until today. There is some badly shed skin on the floor of the cage which I'm going to thoroughly investigate to see if that may have been the cause, because yesterday it looked like she had a bunch of shed pile up on her crest and today this is what I found. So it might not have been her being attacked.
