Maybe it's dye or something from the newspaper. You should take it to a vet.

Am I clear in the fact that you noticed the red staining on the dragon's skin first, the newspaper second? Or am I misreading here?

One possibility is a fungus, another is that there was a systemic infection caused by the loss of the foot and lymphatic drainage is occuring through compromised skin. If you can't find a source of ink or whatever in his environment that can easily explain this staining of his skin and the newspaper, this guy should be seen by a vet.
