Hurt himself while shedding?

Okay this is an odd one, i've never had a problem with any of my snakes and shedding, last night Goliath forced his way out between his enclosure's sliding glass doors while shedding, needless to say his shed is in ribbons, it's still stuck to him in places and he has a gash the size of a quarter on his back, partly under some stuck shed. i set him up with an allo vera and water soak for about an hour to help the shed come off but have never had to deal with a wound on one of my snakes, will Hydrogenporoxide or first aid cream work for him?

I say NO to Hydrogenporoxide. Try neosproin WITHOUT THE pain relief!!

Peroxide retards healing.
