A toad that showed up in my kitchen 10 days ago. He must have been hibernating in a large houseplant I had brought in from the outside in October, only to appear now.

I bought an aquarium and all that goes into making healthy environment (water, crickets, etc.) for him until Spring release back into my garden.

Yesterday, I noticed a skin eruption that concerns me. Could you give me some advice or suggest treatment? It looks like it has worsened since last night. I will be releasing him in late Spring in my garden here in Maryland. I would very much appreciate your thoughts.

I've included a photo taken last night. The only bad area is right lower back but it looks like it is enlarging quickly.
