My 3-year-old female leopard gecko has had a small, firm lump near her vent/base of the tail for several months. It has changed color over time, becoming red/purple and then returning to normal skin color. Recently, a small red spot appeared and now looks dry/crusted. She is otherwise active, eating normally, and behaving normally. I tried to add some pictures too
