Help my bearded dragon has a bump

[Lizardlover97]

weird bump I don’t know when it showed up. He’s 4 years old btw. He also has a weird black scale that repeatedly comes back I don’t know if they’re related. there are no exotic animal vets where I live nor can I afford it. also, the black scale. he has had for about a Year or two

Hello,

That looks somewhat like an abscess to me. Sometimes that can happen if a scale or some
tissue gets damaged somehow, then becomes infected. You can try to get some raw unpasteurized
honey to put on it, initially, to see if that helps out. How long has the bump on the side of him been
there, did it crop up suddenly?

I believe it popped up pretty quickly. within the week maybe

Hello,

Ok, go ahead & try the raw honey on it, for now. You can also put that on the black scale too.
I am not sure what the cause could be other than a damaged scale that got bacteria trapped
underneath. It could also be fungal in nature, too. You could also consider some silver gel, too.
I sell Manuka honey & silver gel on my online website if you have trouble finding any!

Let us know how things are going.

Hello,

You are welcome. Let us know how things are going. Watch those areas closely, especially the
bump to be sure it doesn't get larger.
