Cannot say without pics. But in the meantime use paper as a substrate, and clean any soilings immediately.
I have an albino that had some brown scales appear on his neck, but after his shed they were gone.

Watch it, if it gets worse at all, go to the vet. Maybe a general vet check would be worth the time and $$. Better to be safe and catch something early, also if you have other reptiles it would also be good to quarantine this one.
Also, husbandry info would help-
Temps, humidity, well ventilated,ect....
substrate: type, how old, is it damp
