Cut on Zillas toe

Its been there for a few days, I don't really see it getting any better or worse. The cut is mostly on the surface but its hard to tell. She doesn't seem to like putting pressure on that foot but that could be my imagination. She does this weird waveing thing with her foot, as if she was digging in the air, before utting her foot down. Also the toe is always at a funny angle, slightly bent up. I am putting antibacterial cream on the cut. During the day she wanders the room which has about 30% humidity, and at afternoon/night she goes into her cage which has 90% humidity. She eats turkey meatballs filled with various supliments, fruits, and veggies. She gets plenty of uvb from her many basking lamps. Her colors are very grey and she is about to shed any day now.

Any advice would be much apretiated, I don't want her to loose another toe.

(ignore the weird stripes on the pictures, its some kind of weird camera artifact)

It doesn't look like a bad cut, but why is it at that weird angle pointing up? Is the toe possibly broken?
