Doesn't sound like shedding, sounds more like Hyperkeratotic dermatitis.

I recently aquired a male acanthinurus with this problem.

I soaked him in warm water up to his mouth.. (to soften the crust)

then gently peeled and scraped away the crust. Then swabbed it with a dilute solution of

hydrogen peroxide. After all that, I took some Aloe Vera gel and mixed it with some triple

antibiotic and used a Q-tip to gently apply this to the effected area. I left this on for about 4 hours.

So far so good.. it hasn't come back.

If Hyperkeratotic dermatitis is what your lizard has, copy what I did and see if that

helps.
