We had a fattail with the same problem. The vet said it was probably from either rubbing his lip on the side of his enclosure or from hitting the glass while trying to snag a cricket. The vet removed it and gave us antibiotics for the little guy and he is now fine. I suggest taking your gecko to the vet to get it checked on incase it is something more serious. I would also have him do something about the toe before it drops off.

I haven't had a bad shed problem with any of my geckos thankfully but I'm going through a shed problem with one of my beardies so I ended up getting some ZooMed Repti Shedding Aid and its doing great considering that I bought it yesterday. My girls leg was swollen from the stuck shed and it's not swollen anymore because it broke up the shed I couldn't get off by just soaking her.
