More than likely since the pattern is still there and you're not seeing any white flesh or tissue. He probably just had a couple of sheds come off at once and he's fine.

In the future post pics or a video when you have an actual or even possible physical issue. It helps to see what your talking about. For what ever reason some times people can misinterpret what your saying and trying to describe so pics help.

Rango ripped one of his scales off during his last jail break. It took a little while but his nose looks like it's healed well.

It started off like this

Then he lost the entire scale a few days later

This pics a couple weeks old, hes been sleeping, he's got a little scar

I would agree that your tegu probably isn't missing scales necessarily but that it could have had a couple sheds.

yeah they do but it takes a bit of time the first time monstruo shed he had a bad shed and got a little bit of his scales ripped of and it was showing a bit of his flesh but 2 sheds later it was cleared up and pretty again
