    I am not an expert by any means but it may also be a tapeworm.
    One of my whites had a similar bump on her leg so I took her into the vet and the vet \
    used a needle to make a small incision and removed the worm.
    But still prescribed a bath of a multi anti parasitic drug every 15 days for 3 times.

    you might wan to take her in.

    I'll see if I can, but I don't know if I have the money.

    Also, it's just a white spot, not a lump. No inflammation or anything.

    OK that rules out the worm.
    My brownie had a bump.
    at first I thought it was a fat deposit.

    I wonder what the others would think about using a combo of mela fix and pima fix.
    That should take care of any bacterial and fungal issues and be safe for your frog and plants
    and wont damage the bacteria culture in your filter.

    I have used Melafix for years on my fish and aquatic frogs with no issues.

    I think I know where to pick up some melafix, although I'm not sure about pimafix.

    I'll do a little research around my local pet stores, see if they have any.

    Thanks,
    Caspian

    Update: I already have found a very close location that has both Pimafix and Melafix, so there's some good news.

    they should have both, if not you can prob order it from amazon pretty cheaply.
    I just picked up a 2 zoo med hygrotherm HT-10 controllers for 40 bucks each and a repti fogger for another 40.

    Well, I'll try and pick both up ASAP.

    Personally, I'm not one for ordering things online. Probably because of bad experiences and hearing about other people's bad experiences with online shopping, I suppose.
