Notophthalmus V. strange growth?

[Autumncrossing]

Hey guys,
I am posting on the behalf of my fiancee here , he keeps noto's as well and he noticed that his newt named Issac had some sort of whiteish/greenish dot on her. We gave her a little fresh water bath just hoping that maybe it was some sort of debris but it won't come off. Any idea what this could be? And should we go about giving her a salt bath?
Thank you! - Heidi

Is she aquatic or terrestrial? Her skin looks so unusual to me! Almost like the skin of a taricha.

She's terrestrial, still an eft. She's been getting a lot darker lately.

Okay. What substrate is she being kept on? Also, is the spot hard or soft? Has anyone tried scraping it off?

She is being kept on "jungle mix" basically dirt and she has a little rocky section with water in it.. unlike my notos she goes into the water about once a day and chills there for a few hours. I think the humidity in the house is pretty low so maybe that is why? The spot appears to me to be soft... but its really hard to tell. Tried scraping it off gently and it wouldn't budge.

Just an update apparently it was just some debris from the tank not some life threatening fungus . It came off on its own, we just didn't scrub hard enough . Over worried newt parent here!

Glad it got resolved.

It does look like, from the second pic, that the substrate has some vermiculite in it. If so, that can be very hard to get off of amphibian skin (and human skin).
