BD w/ red mark on belly

I just noticed a red mark on my baby bd. It's already 3 months old so it couldn't be the umbilical cord. What's up w/ this?

I have not pic. Tomorrow I can post one but the belly is normal and there's this red spot. I didn't inspect it further... it looked like a hole but there's no blood. I noticed it close to lights out and he's sleeping right now so I didn't want to bother him. I'll try to get a pic.

Your 3 month old will go back to sleep.

I would inspect it further. It may need to be cleaned with a little peroxide, rinsed with a little warm water on some gauze, and some antibiotic ointment applied like some neosporin. You don't want it to get infected. What sort of substrate and cage furniture do you have? B

I'll definitely inspect it further. I use paper towel. There's also a log I bought and a reptile hut. He's mostly on the log.

PM Sean

See if you can pm Heartmountain and describe it to him. He is pretty good, I really mean, really good at helping with these sort of things. Take care Beth

I can't tell if it's a hole but you can see that little deep red spot and then the area around it

I have no clue what it is.. I pmed Sean for you so hopefully he will be along...it almost looks like faded red marker or something but I do see the dot....do you have any hydrogen peroxide you can dab on there with a cottonball? Let it saty on there for 1-2 minutes. Then get another cottonball/gauze with warm water and wipe it off thoroughly. Don't rub so hard you irritate the area. Do you have neosporin? Spread a little of that over the area with another cottonball/gauze. It cannot hurt anything so I would try to clean the area. If you have no peroxide wipe the area off with water and then apply the neosporin/antibiotic ointment. Take good care, I am curious to see what others post to you...sorry I could not help more. B
