Turn up your temperatures to 80f all over day and night and a basking spot of 97-100f for the next 2 weeks. Great should help any infection.

What are your temps currently? Basking spot, coolest part of the enclosure, and night?

What substrate are you using?

Has anything stressful happened recently? Could we see a picture of your enclosure?

basking spot 100-108f cool end 75f night 70f.
i was using topsoil and sand but then iterated his eye so i changed it to eco earth the only thing stress full would be when i bought him st the reptile expo 4 weeks ago .
Yes! his enclosure is 5ft by 3ft homemade to look like the zooMed one
