HELP! Possibly infected nose on Leopard Gecko!

[bettashawn]

I have a male leopard gecko with a possibly infected nose. About two months ago, a small amount of shed was left on him, and I always provided him with a humid hide. The shed on the nose has now been dry and stuck on the nose. This applies ONLY to the tip of the nose: The nostrils are still free, he his very active (acting normal), he is eating normally, the nose appears to have a VERY small crack down the middle, and a little pink exposed. The nose itself is a darker tone than it usually is (a muddy yellow). Flesh is not exposed terribly, but a small crack is still visible: almost as if a few scales were lost. I have been giving the gecko multiple baths each week, but the stubborn shed wont give.

It has been over 2 months now, it is not bothering him what so ever, and I want to know if I should be concerned. Please help!

UPDATE:
I believe the irritation was caused by the gecko scratching off the recent shed, with the old layer still underneath. Would applying neosporin to the affected area with a Q-tip be affective?

You should take it to a qualified reptile vet, as well as make sure you figure out why it happened in the first place. When sheds go bad (which they shouldn't to begin with), they can't just be left for several months. So, basically, vet.

I had a female rub her nose raw.
Can you post a picture?
