I'm sorry for poor kitty's injury. this wound may well be infected and would need antibiotics if it soon doesn't heal, I know how expensive Vets can be however if you value your kitty you will find away to take him for proper care, many Vet clinics will accept monthly payments to cover a bill...antibiotics are very inexpensive together with an examination shouldn't cost more than $50.

I will send you a link on how to care for wounds and you can TRY that first...but if it doesn't give improvement within a day please take him to a clinic..

the link suggests hot compresses....and a solution of espsom salt and hydrogen peroxide. BEWARE....that the compress NOT be too hot as this will burn your kitty..best to use WARM not hot...ok.
hydrogen peroxide will also cause some damage to the good cells so use sparingly...
good luck keep us posted...

You might also comb your kitty with a super-fine-toothed comb and be sure there are no other hidden patches.  I'm glad you're taking the cat in tomorrow.
