Bearded dragon shedding

So around 2 weeks ago I bought a bearded dragon off my friend who was no longer able to look after her. I already have a beardie, female and she is 2, never ever had any problems with her. When I got the new female beardie home and set up her tank I noticed the underneath of her tummy had yellow/brown patches which felt like plastic and almost looked burnt, I spoke to one of my reptile friends who ensured it was just old skin that hadn't shed properly, he told me to bath her every day and eventually the old skin would come off. I have been doing this everyday for around 2 weeks now and there is no change in the dead skin. She is fine in herself, eating well etc and I ensured her tank was set up the exact same as my other beardies as that has been successful. Below I have attached some pictures if anyone could possibly help or suggest anything different? Thanks

Heya I'm afraid I can't see the photos! When I got P eaches he had a lot of brownish retained shed on his belly. I found bathing didn't have a direct affect, but the brown bits shed along with the next full body shed. The bathing likely helped but I found it just didn't shift till he shed again ? x

Can you see the picture now? I'm just worrying as I've read online about a yellow fungus infection and not sure wether I need to take her to the vets. It doesn't bother her if the skin is touched and some has come off it just looks so ugly x

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
