As I said before, that spot just looks a little infected to me (the red & yellowish colors)- it's healing but it will take time (sheds!) to fully disappear also. What substrate is she on?
Thank you. I think it's a "he"... I've read that usually only the males have those little claws by the cloaca. However, is that a misnomer?

Very small clear plastic bin with air holes, plain white paper towel. A tiny water dish and a tiny ramekin with moist sphagna moss in it, which he tends to stay curled up in. Also some small fake foliage for cover.
