Paranoid?

I don't know if Im just paranoid or what but I thought i'd run this by you guys, I'm not sure what is up with Jack. He is going into shed, so I might just be paranoid, but he's got a brown spot under his eye that seems to have magically appeared and I don't know what could have caused it. There was no bleeding, it isn't sore, and it isnt raised, it's just there. I've been putting anti-biotic ointment on it to be safe. The only thing I have changed in his tank is I gave him a moist hide to help in the up coming shed. He has reduced his food intake but I think that is due to changes in weather, not the thing on his face. All suggestions will be greatly appreicated!

The picture didnt turn out great and things are lighter than in real life, so bear with me, i'm not seeing things! Ill try to get a better pic tomorrow.



Other mystery marks (possibly from when tequila grabbed a hold of him a few weeks ago) <--it was a stupid human mistake that isnt going to happen again.

hmmm, just looks like its most likly dry and or damged scales to me but I am new to skink skin. I'd try to share the better picture with knowledgeable folks and if it was still nagging at me I'd take him to the vet to get some peace ofmind

My vet= useless, i think he sends me check up reminders so that I can come in and tell him what is wrong with other reptiles....he's asked my opinion on two cases, it makes me a little uncomfortable that a DVM asks an 18 y/o girl for advice!....i'm trying to find a good vet that isn't 8 hours away, but im still searching to no avail.

Could the spots be bruises? If Jack got bit by Tequila a couple of weeks ago it could be bruising.

I don't think its bruising, its sort of dry and not glossy like the rest of him, and he didnt shed it off. i've been putting neosporin on it. unfortunately they got into another fight, so for the next week or so i'll be doing iodine baths and neosporin.
