Hiya your cockatiel may have been injured by another bird or scratched it by himself if he is a bit nervous?
He could also have developed and infection in it, so I would suggest popping him down to your local vets where they will be able to examine it closer and probably prescribe some antibiotic drops which will help fight the infection.
Most vets will offer a cheaper consultation for a bird or small animal so it is worth ringing round.
If you cannot get him to a vets soon, wrap him in a small towel and bathe it with cooled boiled water.
hope this helps
good luck!
