Hey guys,
My six year old beardie has a pretty large, raised back spot on her back. It started with just a couple scales going dark, which I assumed was just starting to molt, but it got bigger and it's been a couple months now with no change. She is eating and pooping regularly. It doesn't seem to bother her.
Any ideas?
Friends have recommended polysporn but I'm nervous to put it on her since they absorb everything through the skin.
Thanks in advanced

It could be fungus looks like it you should go to vet good to get to vet before it spreads but i dont know maybe also did your dragon shed if so it could be uneven shedding but i looked it up :study: and it said you can use polysporin and it says when dragons take a bath they take in water through the vent not skin

Thank you! I put some polysporn on it. We don't have any vets that specialize in reptiles on my island unfortunately so I came here. It's definitely not an uneven shead. It doesn't bother her so I'm worried it's a tumor

Hello,

Can you get more of a close up on that area for us?
It does look fungal though, but hopefully not a tumor! How much is it raised?
You can put polysporin on it, or raw, unpasteurized honey on it. If it continues to get larger,
I would recommend taking her into the vet to see if they can drain it to get any fluids out of
the area to culture. They could see if there is infection in the area.

Let us know how she is doing.

One day of polysporn and it appears to be lighter. Maybe I'm just hopeful. Are these pictures any clearer?

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
