My rat has this big bump on his shoulder that he made into a wound and he won't stop reopening it. He's 2 years old, so I'm scared to stress him out too much with excessive treatment. What to do?

The canonical way to prevent reopening is an e-collar (these exist for rodents) that will prevent him from licking. You could also use a bandage, but rats are fastidiously clean and he may try to remove it.
