Hi Louis...no one can really say what it might be w/out a picture.Are you able to get it to a reptile vet? Someone put a link up to a list of herp vets from state to state on a previous reply.I can tell you what I have used on some of my dragons when they have had a wound but couldn't get to a vet.Unpasteurized honey is a natural anti-bacterial and anti-biotic,there is much written about it if you Google medicinal honey and scroll down to "use on animals" It's no old folk remedy but is even approved for human use in Australia.I've used it and always had good results.I had a beardie gauge her lip with her own claw while digging a nes,ripped a small chunk out,lots of blood.It was a weekend evening,no chance to get to a vet so I washed the dirt out[as best I could]and put the honey on.Next day she was eating greens and superworms and never developed infection or anything.So you might try a tiny bit...it keeps bacteria OUT and is an antibiotic at the same time.You just have to keep the dragon on a bare floor cage or paper substrate.
