My bearded dragon, Charlie, got very stressed out when we were taking things out of his tank to be cleaned. He first hissed at us, then ran full tilt across his tank and hit his face on the glass. It's now about a week past the indecent, and now his scales are all dark and deformed right where he hit the tank. He's acting normally, and I don't think it's painful for him, but I would like to know if they will ever heal.

For starters, do you have any pictures of the scales?
I agree, photos would help. You can upload photos here https://www.beardeddragon.org/useruploads/ and post them using the XIMG button when you reply.
Hopefully it's just a bruised area and will heal soon on it's own. Do you see any open wound or bleeding?

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!
