When in doubt, go to the vet. There's seldom anything anyone can do on here about medical problems except maybe recommend a good herp vet in your area. Sorry I can't help you more than that.

thanks anyway!!
There is a thing called blister disease which is dangerous and can be deadly. No telling if this is what it is, but I would take him to the vet *immediately* and sanitize the tank. Also check to be certain it can't be a thermal burn from a heat light or the inside of a hiding cave under a basking light.
Good luck! I hope it's nothing serious!!
