What does scale rot look like... any pics? And if a BP has scale rot, what are some things you can do to help treat it?

My BP has some discolored belly scales that are a rusty color around the rims of the scales. They also look dry compared to the shininess of his other scales. He is in a 25 gallon tub with Aspen bedding, and an undertank heater, plus a red bulb on him to help with ambient temps. The aspen isn't damp at all... This little guy is an adoption and has been through some rough times... just want him to have the best. Thanks for any thoughts and opinions. And if it gets any worse, yes, I will take him to the vet.
