Shedding Feet are Raw

[Gretchx713]

We have a 7 year old bearded dragon Eddy, who hasn't always had the best sheds (he's lost 4 toes on his back foot though one has, strangely, grown back nail and all). He's shedding again and right now the pads of his front feet are shedding but it's too early for them. The shedding skin is raw and thick and pulling away leaving very pink and tender skin underneath. He doesn't seem to be too fussed and is still running around as happy as ever but I don't want them to become infected and any more sore. We've given him baths and everything in attempts to help but they look so pink and tender. Should we use an antibacterial cream on them? Any sort of oil or moisturizer to help? Thanks!

*I should also add that his beard has been unusually darkened during this shed and we do think he has a RI that were taking him to the vet about soon.

Hi Gretch, can you post a few pics of his feet, as close up as you can and from the top and bottom ? Here's how to post pics :

What type of flooring is he on , that will be helpful as well.

I'll try and get a picture or two of his feet once I'm done giving the dog a walk. He has a glass floor with a cement slab on half to keep his nails happy, however he does have a pretty rough log he spends a lot of his time on as well.

Both front feet.The tops are shedding now too and the scales dont feel nearly as thick and "meaty" or soft...like how they ought to feel: dry and thin.

I can't really see anything that looks troubling, the pics are a little dark....but the shed looks normal from what I can see. You definitely don't want to pull on it. Can you post a pic of his set up ? You say you have a slab of concrete ?

Sorry for the bad picture. And concrete is the wrong word...like a tile type thing since we don't really like the idea of sand or anything he can ingest being in his cage. The loose skin feels fleshier than it ought to and is pink underneath where it shouldn't be. I'm probably just worrying too much and he doesn't seem bothered by it but it's better to be safe than sorry!

O.K, no concrete slabs, just some tile. I think the feet look O.K, but I can't see what you're seeing so I hope he'll be fine.
