otc care for scale rot

Im just curious what over the counter meds you can put on scale rot to clear it up. im just curious.

One of the 1st balls we owned had troubles with shedding so we where spritzing the cage way to much (newbie mistake I know) he came up with pink/reddish areas on his ventral scales so I took him to the vet and this is what I was told to do and it is what I did for my roomates ball when he started showing signs as well.

I used 2% chlorhexidine gluconate solution (nice blue color available at most reptile shows) mixed with water until it was a sky blue color. I then swabbed the animals affected area 2x a day until the next shed.

The animal was kept in a clean cage with papertowels as substrate for the whole treatment. After he shed and there where no more reddish scales I discontinued treatment.

Diluted Chlorhexidine

Diluted Betadine

I always just soaked the animals in a tub of it once a day for at least 10 minutes, though more like 30.

A cream available from your vet know as Thermazene/Silvadene is a good product to pick up as well.
