[QUOTE="CryTime, post: 2023844, member: 117951"] I am needing some expert advice. So what I think is relevant is that my dragon had some nose rub a few months ago. I corrected the underlying issues (temps being too high, got rid of the plexiglass he was surfing on) and the nose rub healed on its own. He went through a "shedding storm" in that area where it seemed like he was always shedding that spot for maybe two months. It did raise red flags, but I assumed it had to do with his body healing from the nose rub and didn't realize something more sinister was likely going on. Now, I've noticed a black spot on his chin. The black powder wipes off with some difficulty but it looks like the scales are being consumed from the inside-out and it is spreading. It is in the exact location of his nose rub and he's not showing any other lesions on other parts of his body, which is why I think it's related. I've put him in quarantine and made an appointment with his vet (they cant fit me in for two weeks). What I want to know is if you think it's likely yellow fungus? I've also heard something about black fungus but try as I might, I can't find much solid information on it apart from human infections. It seems to be eating away at the keratin which makes me think YF, but he doesn't have any of the typical yellow lesions. I'm going to have a skin scrape and probably bloodwork done as well, but I want to know what his prognosis likely is ASAP. He is still bright-eyed, alert, and eating well. A topical antiseptic also seems to be keeping the external infection at bay, as well [/QUOTE]
