Frogs and toads

I've found a frog with grey/white bumps on the skin, what's wrong?

Quick answer
It's likely this frog is suffering with herpes - this does not seem to adversely affect individuals
.

Further information
One of the diseases frogs can pick up is herpes. This displays as grey or white lumps/bumps on the skin, usually on the back of the animals. As far as we know this does not seem to affect the frog at all. It is usually limited to one or two individuals and has no discernable affect on their health or behaviour. If you suspect differently please let us know.
