Yes they shed. How much is he/she gaping? All the time or just when you approach? How long have you had this dragon?

The gaping sounds like a threat display. You need an accurate thermometer. Vet asap!

Iceman - call any vet near you and ask for an exotics vet. Your dragon needs a vet now!
He may also be gaping because he's too hot. You need a thermometer and to find out what temp he's at.
VET!

All polysporin does it keep a wound from becoming infected, like Jeff said, it does not heal a bone.

If you bought this water dragon from Amazon, it's time for a vet. It probably has some parasites. I lost many reptiles I bought from there due to infections and parasites.
Villerye PApineau is a good vet for your reptiles, try and get doctor Sikorsky to see your reptile.
