May just be paranoid but it doesnt hurt to ask

So I may be being paranoid but I figured I would ask all of your opinions first before rushing to the vet. I saw these brown lines around her mouth today and I was trying to rub it with a wet qtip but it didn't really come off. I thought maybe a bad shed but then I got nervous it could be mouth rot. Her mouth isn't ajar she's eating perfectly. She hasn't shed in a while.. so maybe I should look to see if it changes???

Here's a link to my tumblr. Her photos are the first two on here. (I can't post photos on here apparently)

The one photo is of her face and the other is of what looks like some scales from shed that won't come off.

Pictures aren't much help...

Like I said, I could just be paranoid :/.

It would help if we could see what you're seeing. The shot of her back (??) is useless and the lighting and angle of the headshot isn't helping much either. A shot from the side and underside in natural lighting would be much more useful to help see if it's something you need to see a vet for or not. You'll need to upload your pictures to an image sharing site (tumblr works too), then copy the direct link and place them in image tags. ie. [,img]imageurl.jpg[,/img] without the commas.
