Just saw this...sorry, been a crazy week. I’m in Ontario, so I’m about as far away from Vancouver island as New York City and LA.

humm I think I read something about fungus treatment-prevention but it probably depend what fungus it is. In this cas I doubt this is fungus (bulb is high, temperatures are low and shape at the dorsal + destruction of the first spikes point on the thermal burn direction however it still alway be possible!)
I will try to find paper about fungus treatment-honey but here is a start : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5339061/

Yes Minooka honey has many benefits one being antifungal. However the UMF has to be 20+ ( MGO 820 ) .

Methyglyoxal ( GMO ) 30+ is even better but very hard to come by . Cold press is going to be best bet .
Thanks @Kristen Wilkins and @Mawtyplant.
I've taken him to the vet and he said the reason why his crest is puffy is because of a burn on the top of his head and because the the mouth muscles are connected to the crest the side of his face /his jaw is puffy as well and it's just a healing process. He has given us a prescription for that cream and an oral medicine which will help his eyes get better
Ok thanks
