If it is infected then you will notice puffiness, discoloration, and even some discharge of pus. An infection can certainly slow the healing process so that is something to look into. You may choose to treat it as if it was infected just to be on the safe side.

Alternatively, the healing may be slow because he is rubbing his snout on things like the glass, as you mentioned, . Try putting up a visual barrier over the glass in the areas where he is rubbing - this is a common thing to do with Chinese water dragons, which are notorious for snout injuries.

A vet trip never hurts either, especially when the injury doesn't seem to go away on its own.
