Quick medic question

Today while bathing my beardie, I noticed he was shedding both his front feet but the inner most toes on both of them seemed the tinyist bit swollen and the skin under the scales is a little pink. Im not sure if I explained this right but would it be ok just to put a little niosporen on it? I've been out of town for the last three days and my sister was taking care of my herps so I don't know how long they have been like this. Any ideas?

Do you have any pics, In the experinces that i have had, If the skin comes off sooner than it should my beardies skin would look a little "pinkish".

Really? That seems like what it might be. I'll check on it tomorrow and let you know if its any different.

Well it seems to be much better now. Everything looks normal except a little red spot on his toe. I checked really carefully and its not mites or a tick.

Give it a few more days if you notice any infections going on i would contact a vet.

I haven't had this happen in quite some time, but thats how i remembered it looked and it went away in about a week.
