I've recently aquired a bearded dragon, about 7", and she seems to have shed the skin from her tail, and the cap of her skull a tad early, Because now the skin on the tail is darkening and shriveling up like a long raisen, it's now very tough, and considerabley skinny, and she doesn't respond to pressure on it. The part on her head turned into what I could see was like a scab, and now it's peeling off and it looks like smooth, raw skin underneath, and it bled a little.

I'm conserned, and need some info.

soak her in some warm water for about 20 minutes and then put some neosporin on it. Don't pick! The tail tip is already dead, it will fall off soon, when it does, keep the area clean until it heals up.

If it gets worse then take her to the vet.

Lizards usualy have a good regenerative capability, if its minor yes I believe they will I totaly agree with soaking her and neosporing it. And vet if it doesnt improve
