Simon, It sounds like your gecko is long past the stage where you should be trying to treat it yourself. Anytime a leopard gecko has been off his food for a long period of time (weeks, not months) it's time to get him to a veterinarian with herp training/experience. This could be caused by internal parasites, improper husbandry or some other problem. Once the animal has been that way for three months it's probably too late to save it.
I certainly would try to get this animal in to a vet. Most are very reasonable when it comes to treating small animals. Your gecko is certain to be suffering and should get professional help.

I don't know if that's possible. He had trouble shedding, so I soaked him and remove most of the skin. There were skin aroubd this jaw which I removed which came out with teeth. Yesterday, I checked his mouth, there seen to be a clear liquid coming out of it. Also, he hasn't eaten for a 3 month already. Is this mouth rot and if so, how do I treat it? > > Also, his left eye seen to be filled with this clear liquid too. Seens like he's crying in the left eye.
