Axolotl cut his lip

Recently, I saw that my axolotl cut his lip while I was feeding him worms. I'm pretty sure it was the metal pincers fault as the cut wasn't visible before feeding. I have had my albino gold for a year now and I have never had anything like this happen to him. Yes, he gets the occasional bruise or sometimes the other axolotl I have will bite him but he recovers quickly. Back to the point, I observed that he had gotten quite a deep cut on his lip and it was bleeding slightly. I googled on what to do if something like this happens but all I found was just to leave him be and heal on his own. I will attach an image of the cut.
Thanks
