Swollen or shedding?

Hi everyone, I got my beardie Shadow in September. He is about 3 months old and I recently noticed his left front foot was a little discolored and very slightly swollen. Along with his left back foot. He shed the skin on his head about a week or so ago and his back and tail and legs have yet to shed. I know that when it's time to shed their skin typically looks a bit more dull, the skin around his left legs is an off/dull/whiteish color and normally I wouldn't worry but this time his front right foot looks a bit bigger than his right and is pale colored. His average basking temp is around 100*F and with his UV it's about 80-90*F depending on how cold it is outside. He eats mealworms daily, along with veggies and fruit, and he has about 20 dusted crickets weekly (he doesn't seem to be a big fan and goes for his greens before the crickets). He is about 11 inches from head to the tip of his tail. There is nothing in his terrarium that would hurt him. He is still very active as he's running around and climbing all over my room so I'm not too worried about lethargy. I made the mistake off looking up what it could be and now I'm worried that he could have beardie gout ): Does anyone know what this might be? Hopefully he's just shedding and I'm just overprotective.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
