It could be from an injury or a bad shed. Keep Neosporin on it if he is NOT on sand. If he IS on sand, use peroxide.

I've used it on my beardie and my ig, as well as the furred beasts of the household. At the very least, it will help soften any dead tissue so it sloughs off and healthy can start growing again, and it will act as an antibacterial as well.
