I would like to point out that the problem with the jaw can be a case of hypocalcemia or metabollic bone disease, which is common in captive amphibians. The cyst or blister I cannot explain so easily.
In the case of hypocalcemia, treatment is to increase calcium and vitamin D intake. Exposure to UV light will help a lot. Also, if this is hypocalcemia, it will be slow to cure.

This isn't a very good "welcome", but I would probably get your frog to the vet if I were you, just in case there's a risk it might get out of hand. But welcome to the forum!

I read that you generally have to have calcium injections done if it is MBD or they won't recover because their bodies cannot process enough calcium at a time to rebuild it. Is this true?
