Black Spot on Beardie's Belly

[EsaMatt]

Hi guys, I need some help identifying the black spot I recently found on my beardie, can anyone help?? Is it fungus??

It's hard to see from that picture. Can you post something closer to the spot?

I agree it's hard to see in that pic but it doesn't look fungal. Lots of times it's just a smudge of food or poo. See if it washes off, maybe use a soft toothbrush.

here you go, im super worried right now..

I will try giving it another bath later today, been stressing it out but Ive already given it a bath yesterday and it didnt seem to be able to come off

It doesn't look like anything related to a skin condition. Wait a day or two, let him soak in warm water for 10 minutes and then gently stroke with a toothbrush.

Thanks for that, I will do that and post an update

Hi guys, just wanted to give an update, the black spot is still there, even after the beardie has undergone a full body shed just yesterday...what should i do?

Does it look the same and does is have a different texture ? I don't think it's harmful but if you're really concerned you could have an experienced reptile vet look at it.

looks the same but doesnt seem to have a different texture from its belly, oh man..i was hoping to avoid the vet..

I don't think it needs to be seen by a vet, but you have the option. I'd just keep an eye on it.
