Maroxy v. Stress Coat?

Hi Geoff, I apologize about the skin clarification. I'm not with the frog right now, but will conduct that test later today.
Until then, here are two pictures of the area in question. The first picture is from last night, and the second one is from this morning. Something interesting to note in the second image is the little white dots--maybe some Ich taking advantage of injured tissue?
If the pictures do not appear, please let me know!

That is not an Ichthyophthirius cyst. Could be the nematodes parasites Geoff has mentioned. If so, recommend taking frog to veterinary in order to obtain a correct dosage prescription for treatment. In lieu of that; you could try the temporary fix Geoff described.

Both metronidazole and levamisol have been used against nematodes; but correct dosage and treatment duration are important, because applied wrongly, they can do more damage than good. There are other anti-nematode medications to treat fish aquariums; but I have not used them with frogs yet.

The only thing I can add is that the skin hanging from your frog, in the second picture especially, is consistent with what I'd imagined from your original description. I don't know what the white spots are.

Hi everyone, here is an update. My water came out too high in nitrates, and pH was unexpectedly low. I am proceeding with the daily 25-30 percent water changes, got some Pima fix, and am looking around the house for some extra clean buckets. Hopefully, nematodes aren't the ones to blame here.
