gecko injury

Question
Help. My gecko shed her skin 2 days ago and since has a swollen right front leg.
I have checked and their does not appear to be any old skin affecting circulation,
but she is not using the leg much and it is quite inflamed.  What should I do?

Answer
Hello Connor,

Can you post a picture of that for me?  Try giving her a bath to see if there is any skin left over from the shedding?  Did she possibly bite herself during the shedding process?
Could she have hurt herself rubbing on something trying to shed?
You could maybe get some antibiotic ointment to put on that front leg, to see if that would help soften it up a little bit.
Let me know how she is doing, ok?
