Leopard gecko skin looks weird on head

[sachen]

Is the skin on the head normal? The area I'm looking at is the area around the mouth, nose and eye. Can you guys check if your geckos have this type of skin?

I really need answers

It's a little difficult to tell with the glare. Are they raised bumps? Or smooth? Is it on the yellow parts too, or just the black?

the area around the eyelids and nose. The black is visible on the photo, not the yellow. Look at the black spots, they look different from the black spots at the neck and top of the head area. Is that a skin condition, or stuck shed? It looks glossy.

They look glossy and different. I don't know if they are raised bumps.

My geckos' skin does not look like that. Maybe try a warm soak and gently rub the area with a Q-tip to see if it changes. If not, keep an eye on behavior and feeding patterns and see if it disappears with the next shed. That's what I would do. It doesn't look like an injury or infection.

Ya, I was waiting to see if it would go away with the next shed. I kept trying to rub it off with a q-tip with no result. If it is stuck shed, would it come off with the next shed?

I don't really think it's stuck shed. I'm not really sure what it is. I would wait it out. If it spreads or looks worse, you might make a trip to the vet. If you have any other geckos, make sure to wash your hands after touching this one or his stuff before touching the others. Just as a precaution.

Do you think I should worry? My leopard gecko eats crickets, mealworms, hornworms and silkworms without any problem.
