My Giant Waxy Monkey frog (which I've Owned for 3 years) has developed big black patches on it's back. A couple of these have become very red and swollen ulcers. My impression is that they developed very rapidly, i.e. I didn't see small patches which then grew larger, first thing I noticed it all looked very bad. I can't be entirely sure about it but I look at the frog everyday and I think I would have noticed when it started getting them. The frog's behaviour hasn't altered, it doesn't act "sick". Admittedly it's hard to tell with waxy monkeys as they spend all day sleeping in one spot and move slowly all the time. Its eyes seem alert when I observe it at night.

Any idea what this disease is and what I should do to help?
