Sometimes when the gecko sheds it may pull a little too hard on places like tail tips and toes and sometimes there's a little cut. I can't really tell from the picture whether the white stuff is more stuck shed or something else. The important thing: if it's stuck shed, pull it off gently. Make sure the gecko is on a clean surface and give it time to heal.

Thank you so much , I am giving her warm water baths twice a day and it is already getting much better :)
