Throat bump under young beardies jaw

[squngo]

New to bearded dragon ownership, and our beardie has developed a bump on her lower jaw, not sure what it is or what to do.
I am giving her calcium powder and UVA and UVB light. Any ideas?

Possibly abecess or a cyst - I would schedule a vet appt to have it looked at -- www.arav.org if your in a small area please type in a bigger cities zip code closest to you- in the meantime please go over your surface basking temps and how your taking them and the UVB your using brand and bulb long tube fixture or a coil? These are extremely important
