Humidity chambers usually do the trick:
- Get an appropriately-sized disposable Tupperware
- Poke some holes in it for ventilation
- Dampen a paper towel with warm water
- Put the paper towel in the Tupperware
- Put the lizard in the Tupperware
- Close the lid and let sit for 20-30 minutes in a warm room (use a space heater if you have one)
Repeat daily until the shed is 100% off. You can pick at the shed a little bit when it's wet, but don't pull off more than will come off easily — you can injure him that way.

Thank you! I'll definitely do this when I get home
That might be O.K for a small tropical lizard but not for a flighty desert lizard. Putting him in a small container will stress him out too much, I respectfully disagree on that 100% . and don't pick it at all, you could really damage skin underneath.
It actually looks like a small wound there...either way, a dab of raw honey [ a natural antimicrobial + wound healer ] will do the trick. Just be sure there are no loose bugs in the tank to get on his face, esp. at night. Whenever humidity needs to be raised, a quick spritz of the tank twice a day will usually suffice.
