Purple grey patches on beardie’s beard

[Haku1234]

Hi I have a question. There are two new patches on my beardie’s beard . They are like grayish purple and appeared about 2-3 weeks ago. She is 1 1/2 years old she’s super healthy and is well taken care of but I don’t know if I should be concerned or not.

Can you get pics in better light ? Something like that is usually shed but the pic is dark and my computer screen is also kind of dark.

Hi there, I see that you reposted this in the health section. Can you post more pics in better light, it would help to see it better.

That's really odd...Did he just shed recently before these patches showed up? I'm assuming you've tried to see if they are retained shed by trying to brush them off with a soft toothbrush in a warm bath? If not then I would try that, but otherwise I think I'd be getting a Skin-Scraping test done and sent out for testing by my Reptile vet to make sure this isn't a fungal infection of some kind. If it was yellow or brown in color I'd be sure it's just retained shed, but the fact that it's black/grey/purple is very odd.

Does it look like it's something on top of his skin, or does it look like his skin has simply turned a different color in those spots?
