Re: Bicolor Nose issue
This looks similar to an issue I had with grey tree frogs years ago. I had them in a screen cage (I believe it was fiberglass screen), and they were rubbing their noses raw on it.
If you have some fiberglass or metal screen easily accessible that you see them interacting with regularly (if it is just a vent that they never touch, it's probably not the issue), you may want to prevent their access to that screen first.
Independent of the cause of the injury, I used Neosporin on my frogs to heal them. Grey tree frogs are much more friendly to handling, so periodic application wasn't an issue. I would only use Neosporin if you think the nose isn't healing well, as it may be worth the stress on your frog at that point.
Aside - I've used Neosporin on my frogs many times in the past. It always surprises me how effectively it allows them to heal by reducing the effort their body requires to fight off an infection.
