As I stated, I have no vet anywhere near me, it would require several hours of driving ( I live out in the country). I will have my friend put down paper towels this evening and move it away from the window.
what are you using to control the heating pad? If the answer is nothing, well, you have your probable suspect. Unregulated heating elements burn reptiles all the time. That is the reason we recommend thermostats (or at the very least a rehostat).

I'm not a vet, I can't diagnose and treat anything. Based on the assumption its a burn, I would get a burn ointment. But keep in mind thats not guaranteed to be a burn, and I have no idea how human medicine reacts with these guys.

She is probably going to go into several successive sheds. This is how they heal, don't be worried. It may look worse before it starts to look better (when she sheds) because she is going to open the wound back up when she sheds.

I would go with lower humidity than normal as you dont want infection setting in.
