It was only last week that I had a similar problem with my one of my clawed frogs. I went out and i bought some 'melafix' which contains extract of tea tree oil which is superb for fixing the likes of ulcers and open wounds. I put in 10ml every day and do a 20% water change tokeep everything clean. If you leave the problem when it is at its bacterial stage then it will progress, more than likely to a fungal problem which will be very unpleasant.

Im no expert in this field but I can only give you advice that worked for me as my frog is fine now

Hi,
Thanks for that information. Strange thing is that the skin (or whatever it was) that I was concerned about peeled off one night. The next day it started to look as if it was starting again. Somewhere over the past few days it came off again. At that point, it didn't come back. Frogee has been eating A LOT and is very active in the evening when I get home. I am wondering at this point if it was just shedding skin. I am keeping an eye on him but so far so good for the past 3 or 4 days. I have him in 1 gallon of water with some artifical grassy plants and a little upside down type bowl that he goes behind sometimes. I do a full water change every week and he doesnt seem to mind.

Alright well I will keep you all posted. Thanks for helping.

That's good news Most likely it was a minor injury and it pealed off during the shed. These frogs, if kept properly, have a remarkable way of healing themselves.

HI,
I hope you are correct. So far so good. All seems calm on the Frogee front.
