If it's brownish-reddish, sort of lacy-looking, and at the edges of the scales, you are probably looking at the beginnings of scale rot, which is associated with too high of humidity. If that is what you have, make sure he's on a clean paper substrate, drop the humidity ASAP even if it means moving his enclosure to do so, give him a smaller water dish for the time being, and apply plain Neosporin to the affected scales daily until he's done shedding, at which time you can reassess his condition.
