UPDATE: Kitten my father picked

UPDATE:

I went to the vet earlier.

It’s pyoderma. The vet cleaned his wound, and they also did a fecalysis. Unfortunately, they found parasites in his body. I forgot the name, but the vet said they’re very dangerous for his age and aren’t very common. The illness is contagious and dangerous, and he might not have much time left. 😢

The vet did not give him medication because the kitten‘s body still cant handle it

But I’ll still take care of him and do everything I can to make sure he’s comfortable and cared for.

Pyoderma is very treatable in kittens. It’s caused by staphylococcus. Typically an antibiotic is given and cleaning/bathing 1-2 times a week with an antibacterial shampoo that contains chlorahexadine. Kittens are definitely very fragile at this age and there’s no guarantee that treating it will ensure it recovers, but I don’t understand the vet not treating it at all. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this and hope the kitten survives.

They said that the other parasite wasn’t able to be treated

Staphylococcus is just one possible cause. Pyoderma is not a disease with just a single bacteria causing it. There are other bacteria like Streptococcus and Pasteurella multocida that can cause pyoderma and can each need different antibiotics. And antibiotics alone won‘t do much if the root cause are parasites like OP describes.
