Misting it will do the trick....it's very common to have uneven sheds with some sticking on a leg or the head. It actually looks very loose in that pic,like it's just about to come off. The small red mark looks to be a bite mark....he was probably with another dragon that bit him or got a cut some other way. In which case a tiny amount of antibiotic cream could help. It will heal on it's own most likely,but if you put any cream on it,do so after the skin shed comes off,otherwise don't mist as it will trickle down in to his mouth. Something else you can use for a small sore of any type is unpasteurized honey. It's a natural anti-bacterial/ antibiotic and works to heal very quickly.
