You've probably mentioned, is he in an exo terra?

For all amphibs, we replace the roof meshing with soft plastic flyscreen mesh

Nose rubbing is quite common in Phyllomedusines especially WC individuals and once you eliminate the abbrassive areas of the terrarium wounds tend to heal quickly. Replaceing the mesh lid with a piece of drilled perspex or as Lottie said soft plastic mesh should help.
Also providing plenty of leafy bushy plants and vines of varying thickness will help to make the frogs feel more secure and the more enrichment they have the less likely they are to rub.

Cheers, it's a full planted tank with plenty of vines and stuff. I was a bit surprised to catch him clambering all over the roof.

Glad we seem to have gotten to the bottom of it in the end!

Hope he gets sorted soon
