She can try soaking the iguanna in a betadine solution. Mix the betadine with water so it is a "tea" color. A plastic cat littler pan works well for this. Soak the iguanna for 10-15 minutes, make sure someone is present the entire time so the iguanna goes not drink the solution. Try this twice a day for3-5 days, if it is a bacterial related problem you should see some improvement, unless it is not, or it is a resistant bacteria. Ultimately the iguana should see a Veterinarian that has experience with exotics, since it could be related to another problem (temerature, diet, habitat..etc) in which case the sores would most likely come back again.
Good Luck,
