Waxy white area on head

Sage has had a small patch of peculiar scales on her head for several months now. We thought it would go away when she shed and it did not. It seems to have approximately doubled in size since about February when we first got her.
The scales are indented, pale, and waxy in appearance. (see images)
We just want to know if this is a normal variation, or symptomatic of something more serious.

help!, so worried for Sage! The white area keeps spreading every day! Yesterday, the white was only close to her eye lids and now it seems to have spread to them.

Hi there, she is a beautiful girl. love her color. :) How close can she get to the basking bulb, can you show pics ? Might be a burn if you use an intense spot lamp. ACTUALLY....once I zoom in it looks like she is just going through another uneven shed. They do shed in very odd patterns , especially as adults.


She's acting just fine , huh ?

She seems to be acting fine. She’s about 12 inches away from her basking bulbs. Thanks for the complement we think she’s pretty cute too :)

Quick follow up. It did, in fact, shed. She's all pretty again and the kid no longer thinks Sage as some sort of head disease.
Thank you!

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
