Red growth on newt. Help

[steven1969s]

Hello.

This morning I noticed that one of my Kaiser I had a red growth on his rear leg. Maybe he has had it for a while and I haven't noticed it. He's in a 30th tank with lots of rocks and hiding places, this is why I didn't notice it before.
Water temps are about 55f, no amonia, nitrates and nitrites are good and ph is at 7.8

What could this be and how can I take care of it?

Thanks

It looks more like a wound than a growth, I can't really tell from those pictures i'm afraid. I think I would be taking it to the vets if it was mine.

I agree it looks more like a wound. If a vet isn't an option look at the links below in my sig, you can find stuff on treating wounds
