Mouth problem. HELP!!!!!

[Patternless]

Today I was checking up on my geckos. I opened the normal females tub and noticed her bottom jaw was sticking out the right side. When I took a closer look and opened her mouth she had a big white thing stuck by her throat on the side that the jaw was sticking out. I gently swabbed it with a swab and took it off. But she had like a scab by her teeth that came of with it. So she's bleeding a bit from the mouth, so I washed it with water. I have a box of povidone-iodine swab packets that I use to use on my ball python that had a cut on his mouth and it cured it well and I still have some left. I dont know if I should use it on the leopard gecko tho. But does anyone know what that white thing could be? Her jaw is still sticking out one side. If anyone has had this problem or knows what to do please post.

I dont know maybe a dislocation. Good Luck!

But I dont know it would have been able to dislocate it. But anyone else have an idea?

Is she housed with other geckos? they may be fighting I would seperate her. If not then I could have been some stuck shed on the side of her mouth but I dont know why it would be sticking out.

Mouth rot maybe, I really dont know??

She's housed alone. I have my geckos in a rack. And I dont know about mouth rot, I thought at first it was old skin but she just started to shed and I dont think skin peels of from there gums. I just looked at her and her jaw looks a little better but it still sticks out, not a lot but when you look at her mouth you can tell somethings wrong.

hmmmm can you take a pic?
I agree it may be mouth rot I would get her out of the rack and in a cage alone in another area for quaritine so it does not spread, do some disinfecting of the rack and get her to a vet for antibiotics.
