Hatchling dehydrated?

So one of my little pieds finally crawled out of his egg. With every other ball python I've ever hatched out their skin looked smooth as can be, and this little guy is wrinkled and looks dehydrated. He also has a tiny bump where his umbilical was, and there was a small amount of yolk still in his egg. Is it possible for a hatchling to be dehydrated? Should I do anything? Humidity in the incubator has been at 75-85%. I have this guy in his new home now, any suggestions on where I should aim for for humidity?
