The top pick looks like a bad cut with a dremel and a piece chipped off. It looks like it's okay though. You can do an iodine dip if it starts receding. I've used super glue to seal pieces like that to reduce bacterial infection. Just avoid gluing any soft tissue. Leave it alone if it just darkens and the polyps on that branch stay like they are in the pic.
