Not sure what happened here

Found this spot on my liberty today, any ideas on what it may be and how I should treat?

Looks really similar to some spots I had on my chestnuts last year. They all recovered and are doing great. I was told it might be sun scald.

Looks like it was gouged. I think it will heal. Trees are amazing
