My bearded dragon looks like what my partner and I believe is a “sunburn”. He has been sitting under his heat lamp all day on his basking rock and it is typically 95-97 degrees. He basks a lot and loves his rock we got him a few weeks ago but we noticed this huge red spot on his back and part of his neck and are concerned about it. Can bearded dragons get sunburns? How can we help him heal from this? Could this be something else? Should we take him to the vet? Help ?.
I'd keep an eye on it but it looks like a shedding pattern to me. if that's the case, then the color will likely turn lighter and the area will eventually shed off and go back to a normal tone/color.

Seeing as the head and legs look like they’re about to shed, and I’ve seen similar stuff on my shedding beardie’s backs, I think it’s just pre shed. I’d keep an eye on it just to be safe, but overall I think you don’t have to worry.

Might take a month or more before the shed comes away. My Cleo has been shedding for over a month in dribs and drabs on her head.
In fact I have two adults , Cleo and Caesar who have both been in shed since before Xmas , a bit here , a bit there .
