My bearded dragon went to the vet for a check up and the doctor fouund two (one on each back foot) wounds? Places without scales not bleeding or infected or anything just missing scales he essentially picked all the skin off and said she was good to go explaining that if he didnt her toes coukd losebloodflow and fall off.. ive noticed the two back wounds showed up again and im scared about her toes falling off ( they seem ridged and stiff ) i would take her to the vet again but all he really seemed to do was pick at her scab and that kinda gets expensive, wondering if there are anyhome remedies to this? I can post pics if anyone needs them

Photos would be helpful. It's possibly caused by an incomplete shed or shed skin that got caught on something and pulled off too early before the underlying skin was ready to go. It could be a wound from an impact or abrasion of some kind too. Best to keep it as clean as possible and if the wound is open you could put some plain neosporin over it to help prevent it from becoming infected.
Here's how to post pics in case you're not sure. :

The second photo looks like maybe the shed is cutting off the circulation to the finger a little. As long as the wound isn't open try putting some plain aloe over it and help loosen that skin up and see if it will come free rather than drying and tightening around the finger.
