Gold Tegu - FUNGUS?

[ReptileAddictions]

I have a rather large tegu (male). Other than the feet and underside of tail appears healthy, eats, ect, even allows me to put meds on. I have had him since he was 6 total inches, is well over 24 now. His habitat was eco earth and new zeland spagnum. I kept an eye on the humidity, but am thinking this is a fungus that has developed? I have treated the last week with tea tree oil (seen in pics) and neosporin on one toe that was bleeding. And put him on paper towels. It has dried up per say and several layers of scabbing have fallen off, but he still looks a mess. I am going to call the vet on monday if I cant find some expert advice here. Any help is much appreciated
THANKS

If it is fungal, then the Neosporin won't help a bit. An athlete's foot cream would work better, along with a drier environment. It definitely looks to be a sort of dermatitis. The vet can help you determine if it is fungal or bacterial.

I only used neosporin on one toe that was bleeding a little, I was using tea tree oil for the rest of it, and keeping him on papertowls............I guess i may have to call the vet

I would definitly go to a vet to see what they think it is and continue to leave it on paper towel bedding until things clear up.
