Chinese Fire Belly with a Sore Snout

I have had two Chinese fire bellies for eleven days now, I have managed to feed one but not the other with a piece of worm and I have put live blood worm into the tank and left dried food on the land part of the tank to entice the other to eat; which it has not. Today when I was doing a water change and a clean up of left over's, I noticed the newt that had not being eating and also had not been spending a lot of time in the water over the last eleven days, has a grey blemish on the right front area of its snout, which starts from the top lip of the mouth to the nostril. Does anyone have an idea what this could be and possible treatment.

Thanks
 
Thanks Ester, I read the 'Dirt' treatment paper and I am thinking of going down that route.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
