Rough lump on Gecko

Hi everyone, hoping I could get an opinion on this rough growth on the back of my gecko. Is this an issue with shedding? Doesn't seem to hurt him and he's acting normal but I'm wondering what this bump is. Looks like a build up of skin.

Yes, it is some poorly shed skin and I see it on its hind legs as well. Make sure there is a humid hide. Put an inch or two of warm water in the sink and let the gecko soak for a minute or so. Try to pull off the shed. It's OK to use your fingernail if necessary and if you don't get it all off, do another treatment the next day.
