No doubt your boa is in a lot of pain. You will need to see a vet to see what pain medication is needed and what kind of dosing would be best. The vet will also give you a topical medication for the wounds, and possibly advice on how to apply the medication without causing further damage or unnecessary pain.

No doubt, this is a prime example of why everyone should only feed frozen/thawed rodents. Not to point the finger, but this is not the rats fault...
