If you are harmed by washing a spot during ablution, it is permissible to wipe over it. If you are also harmed by wiping, then perform for it. You should wash the healthy limbs, then perform tayammum for the affected area. The more cautious approach is to perform tayammum for this limb when washing the healthy part of it during ablution.
