Can u post a picture for us? It might be stuck shed, give her a luke warm bath and scrub the foot with a soft toothbrush, dont pull on the shed if its not ready, but do try to take some off to see if its ready, its perfectly fine to help with shedding When its ready to come off.

Ooo, okay he’s probably upset that he’s shedding, and thats why he did that, please keep it clean, you dont want him to lose the toe.

Can u tell us what kind if uvb and supplements he gets? You could put Manuka honey on it, it helps to promote healing.

Keep it clean, no loose bugs in tank of course and maybe dab the toes with a betadine/water mix a couple times a day. Or a 10 minute bath with 1 part water to 10 parts betadine. Be sure the dragon doesn't drink it . If the dragon is inclined to try to drink it you can put him in plain lukewarm water first to let him drink, then add the betadine after he's done. Hopefully it will heal up just fine.
