【The course of the disease】

At first, a little contact with axolots will be particularly "fearful"! !

the next morning,

The axolots is covered with a layer of "translucent skin? "

Limbs and fins with tiny transparent "blisters"

eight pm,

Axolots is "retching"

"Bloodshot" in the neck

Faint "erythema" on the back

The axolots looks better this morning

But its skin is still festering

Temporary treatment in the afternoon found a lot of new blood
(One drop of Mercurochrome per liter of water)

What's wrong with my axolots

Medicine for axolots is on the way

by the looks of it they are burns, check your ammonia levels as ammonia is the most common cause for burns and blisters.
have the axolotl tubbed in fresh cold dechlorinated water changed daily, add 2g/l non-iodised salt to help with the burns, almond/catappa leaves will also be benificial and soothing.
do a full test of the tank (I assume he/she was in a tank) to make sure that the nitrogen cycle is working properly ie.. ph, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, also kh gh if possible.

Thank you very much for your answer!!
Unfortunately, the axolotl found out that he had died when I had just woken up.
At that time, the axolotl's skin seemed to recover much better than before.
However, I still have to accept the fact that the axolotl died, and probably because yesterday's bleeding greatly deepened his disease.
I should keep an eye out for these potential threats in the future and upgrade my equipment to make life more comfortable and healthier for salamanders/other pets!

Thanks again for your help!

Finally, thank axolotl for your company all year round, he really helped me a lot in my mental illness treatment, may he be healthy and happy in another world!

Have a nice day, thank you very much!!
