yes,why?

Ok i phoned the vet today and explained this bright white patch on his back and they said that in the morning after the opereration he had hard dry skin on his back and they removed it with warm wet cotton wool,could this be the cause???

I would think so. Did the vet say to just let it heal. They heal quite quickly, I would think it would go away soon.

One of mine had this happen twice when young, and an adult male I have just picked up had it happen with its previous owner about 3 years ago, both have been fine since (only the adult required surgery). I didn't feed mine for two weeks after getting it back inside, then I went with soft foods only. I picked up that it can be related to a lack of calcium in fast growing frogs, so I used earthworms that I had injected with a calcium supplement, don't know if it helped or not but has been 2 years with no complications. It did slow down its growth rate and I don't think it caught back up in terms of size, but it might of been heading to be a smaller female anyway.
Good luck and keep us posted.
