Help! I think my gecko scraped her head!

So today I was checking my Geckos and I noticed that my first gecko named Sky had a small red dot on her head. It looks like if she scraped her head on one of her hides. He looks fine and acts normal. She is still very active and still loves to eat. Will she be ok? I cant afford to take her to a reptile vet but is there something I can do to help her heal?

Try to cleanse her cage frequently to help make sure it doesn't get infected, I would stop handling her while it heals so your hands do not pass any germs onto her that could infect it, but if you must then at least wash your hands very thoroughly before handling

Is she housed with any other geckos? If yes, she could be getting bullied or harmed by another, I would seperate them immediately if so

Unless the wound gets serious just give it time to heal, please post a picture of how the wound looks now

Looks like a scrape all right, but I would just check around her tank too for any bugs that could have bit her, if you had left crickets in her tank overnight that she didn't eat they could have bitten her as well, just remember to keep it sanitary until that heals
