The left elbow is coming back to the normal colour, but the right one haves the problem. So, the problem is not fight or mechanical shock. Maybe a genetic problem. Anyone can help me?

I still think he's rubbing up against something.

Think of it like this: if you were rubbing your arm against glass, something smooth like the inside of your hide, or a wall that's got a texture, you will eventually rub the skin raw and you will need to put a bandage and neosporin/vaseline on it.

I think that is what your leo's doing. Unintentionally of course.

But do they usually do that?
There is another juvie housed with him that dont got this problem. I didnt got it: I must put vasilin in the hide?
Sorry my bad english

since they have scales and not skin i dont think rubbing against somthing would cause this, i happen to think its because of shedding, sometimes they eat their sheds to quickly and become raw, this usually happens with babys and juvi's, i recently have a baby shed to soon and caused its tail tip to become raw, after a few days it became necrotic and fell off, this most likely will not happen with his arm though, next time you see him start getting a bit dull, make sure his humid hide is nice and moist and give the cage a few sprays with warm water

Hi there, i think that it may be due to MBD (metabolic bone disease) My female had something similar in exactly the same place on her front left arm. Maybe try dusting a bit more if you haven't been already.Just my 2 cents
