It actually looks like bruising to me. Reptiles bruise somewhat differently than us, particularly on the head where the integument basically fuses to the underlying skull.

Not really, we all bruise for one reason or another, it could be a very minor thing. Just keep an eye on it.

How does it look these days? Is it progressing? Getting better? Have you compared the photos with how he looks today?
