Hello, dont fret, it appears to me he’s shedding, maybe wait for some more opinions.

Hes got a really bad wound that’s starting to heal, leave it be, once a bearded dragon gets a wound it takes some time and 2-3 sheds before its back to “normal” it all looks normal to me, he’s shedding his foot dont pick any of it off

Bearded dragons have “trauma sheds” my bearded dragon busted her lip some time ago and it tore off two scales 2-3 months later shes shedding that area and the scales are coming back. Keep his foot clean and if he jumps alot in his enclosure it may be hurting his feet (why tile isn’t always a good idea)
Thank you this has been really helpfull!
Baths twice a week in dechlorinated water but reptisafe more baths when shedding. it could be shed or he could have a tiny tumor. Find a good reptile vet and take him in. Also the tank looks like u have a colored bulb please remove any colored or coiled bulbs they ruin a Beardies eyes and the tank looks dark, small, & very congested. Without the correct UVB the Beardie will be lethargic, won’t thrive, can’t absorb vitamin D, cannot breakdown the calcium powder and will be unable to walk or eat. Use the clear zoomed for heat and the Reptisun 10.0 T5 for UVB the length u order shoild
Cover 70percent of his tank and all Uvb lights need replacing every 6Mnths or the Beardie will be unable to walk or eat and have brittle bones, shakes, tremors and eventually death. Heres a pic of the calcium powder to buy and the vitamin powder; sprinkle the feeders 4 times per week once per day like salt on fries. On a non calcium day sprinkle Herptivite. Here are pics. Also he needs a hideaway under a hammock or under his basking spot. They love hammocks u can place behind the basking spot.
