Welcome to BP.net!
I would put her on paper towels and treat those areas with Betadine solution ASAP.

As long as the UTH is controlled with a thermostat, I see nothing wrong with giving her the proper belly heat. What temp do you have the UTH set at?

Whether its scale rot. Or bites they should be treated the same. For both my recommendation is to hospital clean tank (bleach out), paper towel sub changes daily. This is to keep the environment as clean and sterile as possible. Treat wounds or rot with cleaning them with straight betadyne. I don't recommend doing betadyne soaks unless the area is widespread which it's not. We don't want to Give bad sheds in this process bc of soaking. So daily changing of pt and wipe betadyne on the areas. Should clear up in a jiff. Looks more to be wounds from prey to me though.

Well i can guarantee you its not from any prey. She hasn't eaten since i have her and i don't leave rats in with her for more than 30 min and i supervise them. She literally shed today in the morning and before the shed she had alot more brown spots, now she has less but they are brighter now and i also cleaned her cage when i got her and put new mulch and i have been soaking her for 10 min tops just to keep her skin nice and hydrated.

If you keep proper humidity in her enclosure, you will not need to soak her. In fact, soaking can be counter productive.
