I would dilute some raw unpasteurized honey with some luke warm water and use a qtip to dab it on that area for several days, and keep an eye on it.

Hello,

That looks like it could be a little fungal issue but not sure. As suggested, you can try the raw honey on
the area to help out in case it might be fungal. Hopefully it's just some retained shed that will gradually
shed off.

a poem by AHBD (THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE IT!)

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?
