Small bubmps and scratches on Lily, my White's Tree Frog. Anybody know what this could be?

[flybyferns]

She seemed and looked perfectly fine yesterday. But today, I noticed she has these weird skin discolorations that looks like scratches. They aren't bleeding or scabbed. I can't figure out what happened! There aren't any crickets inside her tank that would harm her. I also noticed somethings else. She has these small pimple like bumps on her back and also one near her nose.Do these look normal or should I be worried? She is captive bred for sure, so I know it isn't a parasite. Any advice!?

Lyndsay,
She definitely got scratched by climbing passed something or trying to squeeze passed something?

The bumps could be insect bites? You should treat them so they don't get infected.
You could do a honey bath also :

Could there be some kind of insect in the substrate or from the wood that could bite her?
How was the wood and or plants prepared prior to putting them into the enclosure?
What feeders do you use?
Inspect the entire enclosure very carefully.
Look at her very closely to see if there are any tiny insects walking on her.

Thanks for your reply! The wood was baked, soaked in a bleach water solution, and then soaked and rinsed in dechlorinated water. I don't think any bugs would survive that. The plants were soaked also. I have fake plants in the tank, so I am thinking maybe she got scratched by one of them? She likes to hide in them so it would make sense. The scratches look a little better today.
I have inspected her very well and I don't see any insects on her. I use cocofiber substrate from ZooMed, and I have not seen any insects in it.
I saw an old thread with somebody who had the same problem and somebody said their vet told them they were stress spots. Ever heard of that? I only got her a week ago, and I think she has been pretty stressed getting used to her new surroundings.
As for feeders, I give her crickets. But I tong feed her mostly, so I know they aren't crickets bites.

Check the coco fiber for mites. sometimes the coco fiber will have mites in it that emerge after the substrate is moistened.

Also to prevent infection in the scratches apply a small amount of Original Neosporin that DOES NOT contain Painkiller. Just plain Neosporin.

I will check the fiber for mites and apply some plain Neosporin. Do you think the Neosporin could help the bumps too?

If they are actually bites yes, but if they are just a part of the frogs skin or an irritation caused by something in the enclosure then no. Look really hard for any mites. If the bumps aren't red or do not look somewhat inflamed they may be just an irregularity in the frog's skin. You don't want to apply too much of the ointment, but maybe try a small amount on the bumps to see if the begin to recede.

I looked for mites, but did not see any. I will continue to keep my eye out for them though. The bumps deifnitely don't look red or irritated, some of them look like they have a little white head on them though. But it is so tiny it is hard to tell. But it is different than the white spots they normally have.
I put applied little bit of ointment on both the bumps and the scratches with a q-tip. How often should I apply it? Once a day? I feel so bad stressing her out so much.
