I think you keep applying the ointment and stop scaping. The original tail area is much cleaner than when you started , then just observe and monitor.

I agree with Sarah2020. If you're hitting blood, I think that's enough.
Keep putting the athlete foot cream on both places.
Don't forget that new growth is also white. You have to look close.
If zovick comes back and advises you, follow what he says. He knows more than I will ever know in my lifetime.

Yes, once a day will be fine. Just keep watching the areas and make sure they don't start to get the fungus again after you have treated them for about 7-10 days each.

You live in Oneonta, NY? Do you know Gary Bright? He is from Davenport and is a very knowledgeable tortoise breeder. Maybe he would be willing to help you if things don't improve.
My in-laws lived in Charlotteville for many years. I go up to that area at least once yearly to visit the Charlotteville Cemetery where they now are.
I do live in Oneonta NY, I got my tortoise last October from Petco and then realized I should have gotten one from a breeder instead, but something about that tort at the pet store made me want that one.
I do not recognize the name but maybe I will look him up and reach out to see what he says. I really appreciate all the help you have given me!

Gary comes on this site at times. He goes by GBtortoises as a user name. He also advertises on Fauna from time to time. Here is a link to one of his recent ads: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=728748&highlight=anamur+greek

Natural sunlight or UVB fixture?
Hello I have a 5mo old Egyptian hatchling currently kept in an open table enclosure. Currently using UVB light and a heat lamp (obviously). I give her a soak outside everyday when then the sun is out, and let her run around for about 30 minutes as well. If I’m doing this already, is it still...
