Hello all I got my bearded dragon about a month ago and she has got what seem to be an inflamed lip or a cut on the right side of her face I’m not sure if it’s mouth rot or not I would just like to get someone’s opinion before I go to the vets and spend a ton of money
That photo is from a couple days ago I am cleaning it with coke boiled salt water and it seemed to get better then got worse again I’ll try find a newer pic

Please get some raw unpasteurized honey and put on it- that's going to kill the infection - please no crickets in the tank and apply 2 times a day - make sure you have a good uvb- No coils please-- the uvb needs to be properly placed and distanced-
Thank you I was going that but it kept getting sand in it I will start again and should I maybe while it’s healing take out the sand and put paper towels or a blanket ??

Yes please get rid of the sand all together -- you can use paper towels for now and then you might look into some textured NON adhesive shelf liner found at Walmart or your local home improvement store

I would recommend taking her to a vet that specialises in reptiles as mouth rots need to be treated. However you could try one of these natural remedies for bearded dragon sores 5 Easy Natural Remedies for Bearded Dragon Sores to Try!

How is your dragon's appetite, does the mouth seem to be bothering her? As suggested, raw,
unpasteurized honey is very effective for wounds & especially safe for using on & in the mouth,
too.
