What Happened to These Scales?

Noticed this patch on my Ball Python: https://i.imgur.com/3IX6H8H.jpg

Can't tell if it's scale rot or a minor injury. His stomach is completely clear of any marks or discoloration. He shed about a week ago so it'll be a while before I can see if it clears up with shedding. Cleaned his cage a week ago too and I spot check daily.

Don't worry it doesn't look like scale rot, it might be a small dent like injury, my Bp has that sometimes, I don't think it's harmful

It would be good to check with the vet though if you want to be sure

just dents from the way the snake typically curls up in their hide, or from the hide not having a smooth surface. either way, nothing to worry about.

here's super old pics of Yellow with some bent scales:
