Hello,
I Believe that your beardie is getting ready for a shed. Otherwise it could just be a scar and it will go away in his next shed. a Closer and less blurry picture might help though.

He's a year old, I noticed it a few days ago. He's been a little more docile lately but I think that's because he was shedding, he's done shedding now but the plaque is still there. He is not dehydrated, lethargic, or sick in any way. They look slightly painful when I touch it. I thought it was a burn at first so I switched his heat bulb to a 75 watt in a 50 gallon tank. The distance between the basking spot and the lamp is 7 inches.

Well that is a bit close for the basking bulb to be. What are his temperatures (cool end, warm end, Basking spot)? and I'm glad their coming off now. I Guess it was just misshapen scales perhaps. I Don't think that you need to worry about them coming off.
BTW When doing the betadine soak make sure it's diluted to look like iced tea before letting him in it.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
