Gecko shedding with injuries?

My gecko has some bad injuries on his back (I dont know what from, I adopted him for the reason he was injured), and he is now shedding. He seems to be having some trouble shedding in those areas. Besides that, his shed is very healthy and is easily coming off. I was wondering how I could help him shed without hurting him or making them worse. Is there any way? or should I just let him do it and see what happens? I dont want to make his injuries worse.

This is a common problem for most gecko owners. What I suggest trying is giving your gecko a warm bath every so often to help ease the loose skin and so it won't stick to your gecko and injure it. Also, put some antibiotics on the injured areas, to keep them from getting infected.

Hi there, I would consider a little bathing a gecko - it can stress him and worse the situation.
I have prety good results with really simple method for all shedding problems.
1.You just need to ensue you have 100 percent good conditions (warmth, humidity,ets).
2.You need to ensure you give gecko right ammount of vitamins (especially calcium) with each food.
This way gecko gets in really good state and also conditions are best for shedding.
- regarding injuries - try to upload a photo to check. If they are fully "recovered" - meaning no infection, just scratch, it is possible no treatment is needed. If they look not completely OK, some medicine will be good.
