Is this bruising or mouth rot?

Hi everyone, first time beardie mom here.

Keep in mind I do have a vet appt scheduled but the earliest I could get in was in 2 weeks!
So, I have come to ask here for some insight.

My beardie, Pancake is a 2.5 yr old female who just laid eggs today (2 weeks ago she only laid 3 single eggs so we were concerned about that, but she finally laid, so that is not a concern anymore.)

I have noticed over the last few days a darkened area around her snout. Almost like she burried her nose in dirt and it stained. It was lighter a few days ago but has gotten much darker since. She does surf alot and when we take her out she'll run around and bump her nose quite often. Her bottom lips looks a little bit raw. I was concerned it was mouth rot but her gums don't really look like it. (Like I said, to be sure I have a vet visit coming up.)

Does anyone have any ideas or has a beardie that has gone through the same thing? I have attached photos. The first photo was a few days ago when the "bruising" looked lighter. The next 2 are today. I will also note that it feels almost like a scab and seems to be peeling off (second close up photo.)


Thanks for taking the time to read and any insight is extremely appreciated.

Glass surfing causes this- please get some raw unfiltered honey on it- example manuka honey - please no crickets in the tank if your feeding them they'll go straight for the mouth

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
