Beardie Scabs

[Viper87]

Is it possible for bearded dragons to scab? on what I consider to be the "ball" of their limbs, my beardie has what seems to be small scabs on each one, there looks to be dried blood I've given her baths everyday this week in case it was stuck shed. She is shedding fine, the only problems I see are these scab like things on the balls of her limbs, what can they possibly be from? any suggestions?

also she does have UVB tube, its less than a mth old, temps are 85 cool side 100 hot, shes got a place to hide, she gets calc daily, multi vitamin weekly, so shes a healthy beardie, shes not lethargic at all, the spots seems to have already kinda healded and it doesnt look terrible but the skin around the area is almost black i applied some aloe for the time being to moisturize the area, and will apply neosporing later just wondering what other things to do or how she even got this problem

I can't really tell from the pics but it could be from crickets. Do you leave crickets in the cage?

Hello Joey,

That looks like she has rubbed it on something, constantly. Is there anything that is sharp in the tank?
What type of substrate do you use again? Could the black be dirt that has worked into the scales perhaps?
Continue to put the aloe on that area. There is a product called Silvadene (prescription only) that is a great antibiotic ointment but there is an offbrand called Thermazene which is just as good. You can get that from Amazon pretty easily. It is a thick white cream that soaks into the skin/scales very well. It puts a protective coating to help keep water & debris out of a raw or damaged area.
The baths will help too, & it will keep any dirt out of that area also so keep doing that daily right now.
How long has she had these areas for?
