Close Ups of Head Scarring on my BCI

Here are some pics of the scarring on my female BCI's head.
I adopted her from Va Reptile Rescue with the scarring already present. The vet checked her out shortly after I adopted here and gave her a clean bill of health. He said that the scarring and lost scales was probably due to mouth rot or a burn that was not treated properly when she was younger.

Ouch!
It would be interesting to see some comparison shots of her after a few sheds.

John, I have had her since December 22nd. She has gone through three sheds and has not gotten any better, but at least it has not gotten worse. I keep the area treated with a triple antibiotic ointment, so that the area stays moist and flexible, in hopes that it may improve.
It seems that it is going to be permanent though [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif[/img]
