Dark Scale on neck fat, worried it could lead to infection

I noticed this scale about a week ago. My bearded dragon, Iroh, is 2 years old now. This is my first reptile, and I am still learning. I thought his scales were dirty, and after a bath it remains the same. After looking closer I am worried this could lead to a bigger issue if left unchecked. I plan on vet assistance, however if a harmless home remedy can help i would like to try that first.

Hello,

Do you have any pictures you could post? I noticed you had another post that I'll go check to see if you
posted any pictures there.
You can try using some silver gel or aloe vera gel on the area if it looks like retained shed perhaps.
If it is fungal, those will help too, if it is minor.

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. 😔
