Dark patch on my bearded dragons back

Daniela434 · May 15, 2018

Im really worried about my baby. He is around 6 months old. He eats tons, poops well daily. He’s really active and very friendly.
I bought him 3 months ago and he had a small spot on his back but it has got bigger and bigger. He sheds once a month and the dark patch remains when he sheds.
Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? Could it be fungal? And if it is what can i do to gelp him? He’s never had yellow patches they have always been dark.

Hi. It almost looks like a burn. How close to the lights is he?

That is what I thought when I first got him. I thought it was a burn from the pet shop. But the patch has grown considerably bigger over the months. Its not possible for it to be a burn as there is no way he could touch the bulb. I want to add a picture of when I first got him but am new to this site and don’t know how to add extra pics?

This is the patch when i got him in march.

This is how big it grew in april.
How it is the size in my first picture so definitely growing.

Update! So after 3 days of applying athletes foot cream the patch fell off! Looks like it was a fungal infection. So glad the anti fungal cream worked a treat!
