Scales and scabs?

[Zcal93]

Hey guys just checking in about my not so little spaghetti monster. I have a question he just came off a shed and on his head it looks as if there is a scab and almost as some of the scales are turning black. It doesnt exactly look like new pattern to me but Maybe Im wrong. The shed is Maybe only 3 4 days off and I see this on his head and a tiny scab on his back. I'm honestly going to make an appointment because he's almost a 6 to 8 months old but some feedback would be greatly appreciated. Zoom in on the head and you'll see what I'm talking about. Thank you for looking at the post.

There seems to be a good-sized scar behind the scale you’re asking about. Is there a light in or on the cage that he could touch his head to (even when jumping)? When reptiles suffer burns it can damage the flesh below the scales and cause them to fall off and the underlying skin to scar.
