Umm never buy from a pet store but birth defect, injury from importing, mouth rot? He looks healthy otherwise.

Almost looks like he had his bottom lip ripped
Off

Is there anything I cancan do to help him heal better or if it’s mouth rot what can I do? And will this ever get better?

I know I shouldn’t have bought from a reptile store but I went there to buy feeders and saw him, held him, seen the condition of his mouth and made the decision to take him home❤️

I'd begin with a trip to the vet. Always a good start with a new herp under any circumstances.

Not long ago someone else posted they had issues with their new BW that has something wrong with its lip....ended up being old Shed that had not come off. Just throwing that in for consideration. Difficult to see in the pics
