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

That's why Grif is "Great" !!!

Check the very edges of the artificial leaves? Sometimes they are rough; maybe touch/rub them against the inside of your wrist.

I would still treat her, to prevent infection.
Like Grif said VERY sparingly ; and not on the ones that are only bumps.
Apply only to the ones that look erupted.

The tong feeding could be causing stress?
How about starting to put some dusted crickets - nightly- into a clear class bowl. ( 3" side) like a pyrex
She may not take them right away - but will eventually.

Cover three sides of her enclosure for awhile and keep her in a quite spot w/out a lot of foot traffic.

Feed her well , especially while she is adjusting and stressed.

After she goes back to sleep in the AM
Very quietly remove uneaten crickets from her bowl each AM ( throw them back in the bin to feed)
and do a real quick - daily - de-chlorinated water bowl change
( keep her dish really clean !!!! rinse w/ very hot water and use friction to dry w/ a clean paper towel)

Get her in the habit of lights out/ light on at the same time every day. Then you can spy on her !!!! hehehe

Prepare a Froggy medicine cabinet: You should really have some Sulfadiazene on hand (It belongs to a class of drugs known as sulfa antibiotics ). It controls bacteria and fungus from spreading to the surrounding skin of a tiny frog. More importantly to the blood stream where it can cause a serious blood infection called sepsis. It prevents the spread of skin and wound infections from turning into “ulcers”. These can spread over the entire frog very quickly in their environment in which they live . It is sometimes used together w/ other antibiotics. I'm not saying she needs this. But is , of course, best to be prepared. Here is some information as to how to obtain medications to keep on hand in case of an illness/ parasites / infection. Sulfadiazene is a thin milky solution--not oily like the Neo. The Neo is ok in a pinch , but the Sulfadiazene is better for many reasons. You could email Dr Frye; he can explain.

Thank you so much Lynn! I will get to work on the froggy first aid kit, and start feeding her from a bowl. Do you think I will ever be able to tong feed her once she is less stressed and adjusted? I tong fed my other two white's without any problems.
The one plant that she likes to hide in does have a few rough edges. I'm thinking this is how she got scratched. I am going to try to smooth them out.
I will continue to sparingly apply the Triple Antibiotic (Generic Neosporin) once day until the bumps and scratches heal.

Be careful with the Generic brands. Some don't always contain the same ingredients.

Be careful with the Generic brands. Some don't always contain the same ingredients.

I compared them and they both have the same active ingredients. The only difference is the generic contains "light mineral oil, white petrolatum" in inactive ingredients and Neo contains "Cocoa Butter, cottonseed oil, and Olive Oil" Is that bad? Should I return it and get the real Neo? I thought the less inactive ingrediants would be better.

Well the Cocoa Butter, Cottonseed Oil, and Olive Oil are non petroleum based and are natural. It would be best to use the Name brand here. I don't believe the one small application probably won't do any harm, but I always practice better safe than sorry when it comes to treatments.
