Swollen finger

Hello. My bearded dragon, OJ has a swollen finger tip on her hand. The nail itself looks bruised. Im not sure how this happened but I would assume she snagged it or something fell on her finger. The swelling has not gotten better or worse the past couple days. She doesnt seem to mind when I touch it. She walks normal and otherwise seems okay. Was just wondering if this is a type of injury that heals naturally or if I should be concerned. Or other suggested treatment methods.

It looks like the one finger has shed coming on --- that can cause swelling as well as hammocks and reptile carpet --- we often see injuries from hammocks mostly - grass and the green fine mesh ones are culprits for that - it will heal on it own - make sure your UVB is on par --- NO coils please --
