Weird bump below beard

[Chaosadnd1]

Hi all. I noticed a bump right below Buttercups beard today.



I know the pic isnt the best but you can clearly see it. She isnt acting any different other than flaring up and opening her mouth at me this morning when I scared her shaking crickets off my hand. Anybody have a possible idea what that is?

Hello,

Is the bump hard or soft & does it move or is it seemingly "attached"?
It could be a cyst or an abscess possibly. Or sometimes a scale get retained in an area & can cause an inflammation of that area due to bacteria harboring & can cause swelling & a bump.
You can try putting some antibiotic ointment on it daily to see if that may help. It doesn't bother her though?
How long has it been there?
