Is this something I should worry about?

My bearded dragon went to the vet 10 days ago and is perfectly healthy. But today I noticed this around his eyelid? I don’t know what it is but he doesn’t seem to be in any discomfort. It’s just the one eye. I can’t tell if he’s shedding or what. He might be because he does start around this time (he usually sheds twice a year, once right at the start one once in fall.) I have to make a follow up with the vet to get him tested for ADV anyway but is this something I should worry about? I will attach a picture I took. I dunno I’m keeping an eye on it. His humidity has been a bit low but I’m working on fixing it.

To me it looks very much like him starting shedding.
Looks the same on my dragon. I once also found a perfect "ring" of shed from one of his eye.
Ok thank you so much for your input! It’s comforting that he’s probably just starting shedding. I just haven’t seen any other bits of shed yet so that wasn’t entirely at the front of my mind. I tend to go to the worst case scenario. Thank you again!

I agree it's shed. Humidity high or low is pretty much a none issue. The only time it IS an issue is if there is some other underlying problem.

Great! Thank you for helping calm my nerves. It’s good to have a second opinion to reassure. I couldn’t find any pictures of anything like this so I got worried and came here. Glad to know it’s not anything serious. Have a good one!

Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
