Tigar salamander help

[Midget 8290]

Hello, we have had a male tigar salamander for around 4-5yrd now and For the last few years we have been having problems with little white bugs that appear to either be eating him or making him sore somehow. About 6-8 months ago he was so bad we didn't think he would survive because his whole underbelly was sore and bleeding. Obviously we have taken him to vets everytime this has happened and they have given him antibiotic injections as well as some cream like vasalin. So since the first case of this infestation, he was originally in a Viv exotic vivarium, the one with the mesh top and opening doors with eco earth, pebbles, a wooden log hide and a water bowl. We have tried other soil base products like organic top soil, changed his wooden hide for a ceramic hide and have constantly soaked all of his stuff in boiling hot water. We have tried him in wet soil and dry soil (obviously not dry completely). Deep soil and shallow soil. We have recently in the last few moves changed his vivarium to a plastic rub. But non of this has worked. We are still getting these bugs and he is still getting sore/bitten. His tempature is normally around room temperature around 21-23 degrees Celsius. He normally eats well and has a regular weight. We use fresh bottled water. We also tried him with and without moss. He is currently on eco fibre soil now but no luck.

I was wondering if there is anything we can use other than soil completely. I know they are suppose to be in a dampish area but we honestly have no clue what else to do.

I should also mention he has also had a few eye infections in the past few year.

I have attached a video of last night when we saw the bugs. It's not to clear as it's a video but you can just about see the white bugs.

Hello,
I saw some white springtails on the video.
Springtails feed on decaying organic matter, so I doubt they are responsable of the dammage on your tiger.
Nevertheless, their abundance means lots of decaying matter (including waste from the tiger) and a substrate which may be not safe for salamanders.
