Is it always like this or just recently started? Sounds like he is just shedding, though his stomach shouldn't always look like it's shedding, unless very young and growing fast. Do you have a water dish big enough for your skink to soak in? Other information about your setup and skink would be beneficial, things like cage size, lighting, heating, contents (besides the skink of course), age of the skink, how long you had it etc.
