Is this yellow fungus?

If this is yellow fungus, how do I treat it? There are no available reptile vets here in our place, so your help is badly needed guys.

Hello,

That is an odd pigmentation. Have you bathed her & used a soft toothbrush on those areas to see if that would come off?
It doesn't appear to be yellow fungus. How long have those areas been there?
You could be proactive & start treating for yellow fungus if you would like. You can use diluted betadine to bathe her in to get the skin, clean. Then get some monistat or lamisil cream to put on those areas, daily.

Has she been on any antibiotics recently?
How is her appetite?
She looks great, her colors are very nice.

Hi Tracie. Thanks for the quick response.

I tried giving her a bath but it won't come off.

I noticed that she has these dark yellow things a day before I posted this.

She has never been on antibiotics since the first day I got her. I'll try to reach her previous owner tomorrow & ask him if he gave any to her. I'll update you.

She has been munching on some dubias but not as many as before.

I'm sick worried for her.

Notice the darkest pigmentation on the lower part? I've been told that this is a healed bite wound from a sibling. (I hope this would help!)

The infected skin looks like a clear shed that won't come off.

Those small spots are not just colors though. They are like little bumps, like pimples.

The pigmentation gets darker day after day. I'll post another picture tomorrow.

I started treating her and my other beardies as well. I hope this won't get any worse. I really love her. Please stay with be until she gets better.

Hello,

Absolutely. Let me know how she is doing.
How are the temps in the tank now & are you able to keep the humidity down to 20% or less?
How long have you had her?

You can start giving probiotics to her daily to help balance out the system too if there is some fungus involved here.
I hope her appetite continues to hold up.

100f on the hot side and 75f on the cool side.
About the humidity thing, I currently have no gauge for that. Do you think I should get one?

I've had her for more than a month.

When you say probiotics, what do you mean by that? And how is it given? What particular brand and where could I get one? Is it once daily?

One more thing. I've heard of that repti-aid XL thingy that is said to cure yellow fungus. Is the med really effective? It costs nearly about 2000 pesos here in the Philippines but I am willing to get one if it would really work.

Bearded dragons are so expensive here. :/
