Dead Scales?!?

Ok, so yesterday I realized that Zelda had some very discolored scales of her arm. They look very (VERY) pale and, like two are even turning dark grey. Now, today while I was rubbing her in her bath (she was sleepy, and I like petting her scales) I noticed that right behind her black dot (the one on her shoulder) there was more paleness, so, I looked some more and found two more small blotches on her head, but thats it. I REALLY doubt that its shedding because you cant see the new scales under the dead ones, and they look a little deformed as well. I will post pics if requested. Oh, and, I dont kno if this could effect it but she does have very minor MBD, its just starting and we're trying to eliminate it ASAP.
So I guess my final question is, can scales "die"? And, can this be cured (if it is somewhat serious)? Or, am I just paranoid, and is it ok? :?

Hi! Im sorry it took so long... my camera takes worse pics than my iPod (and when you see the pics, youll see taht the camera is REALLY bad...) so i wanted to wait for my iPod which was at my dads house... So, I included a pic of just Zelda. Does she look healthy? I think shes about 8 months old, not sure tho. I know you cant really see the areas (dues to terrible cameras... :angry5: ) but ill kinda point them out.

Ok, so, in this one you can see all of them (ish) Some on her upper arm, and a bit below the black splotch. the ones on her head have kinda went away.

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!
