I'm NOT going through the abscess thing again...I hope...
I've never seen gout in a lizard, but he's so young he's probably not been around long enough to develop it.
Do you think he might have had a fall in his enclosure or got his leg twisted in there somehow ?
..... a bad soft tissue injury like a sprain or dislocation will cause swelling too. (I know that for a fact as I've got a trick left elbow (sports injury , been dislocated 5 times , all in nasty rock slips and falls while fishing on slippery ocean platforms over the years, and it swelled up heaps each time after I dislocated it).
