So I've been combating a mystery skin affliction since February and I think it's FINALLY gone!!!
I originally posted about it here:

In retrospect, I don't think the "first" small patch is related; I think that was actually just a scrape.
This is the second shed since this issue appeared. And he looks better than ever. He just finished shedding yesterday so I immediately cleaned his enclosure and soaked him in betadine.
This was at least a pound of poop, and his perfect shed. Not too much of a mess this time.
This is his vent after his shed in March. You can see his vent is still irritated.
This is his vent yesterday! Perfect! There's a pink tinge, but he always has this after he sheds. It'll be gone in a few days.
His lateral scales are all healed.
A little blurry, but his central ventral scales are all healed.
Monty reacts to head toweling the same way my dog does. He seems to enjoy it.
