My green anole has a yellow lip bump. What can I do before the vet?

Question

Today I was looking at my green anole, and I saw a yellow bump on his lip. He has always had a bump on his lip, but today it was yellow. From what I have researched, it was ulcerative stomatitis. I was just wondering what I could do to treat him until I can get him to a local vet. Pet's info: Reptile | Anole | Male | unneutered | 8 months and 26 days old

Thanks for reaching out about Noli. Yellowish lesion are often infections, so a stomatitis is likely. Gently cleaning with a Q-tip and hydrogen peroxide might help, but will not penetrate into the lesion. Systemic antibiotics are needed and a veterinary visit is recommended. Check and correct any husbandry deficiencies. Good luck.
