    HELP!! Scales COMPLETELY missing. Wound or infection??

    I need some help asap! About 2 or 3 weeks ago I noticed a rough patch on the top of my ball pythons head (he's about 10 months old). I thought maybe it was from a bad shed so I didn't do anything about it. But now that he is shedding again, the rough patch came off but the scale is completely missing! All that was there was something that looks like a wound, it's red and pink (no scale!). He ate just fine last week but I did not feed him this week because he was getting ready to shed. He shows no abnormal behavior and the rest of his shed is coming off just fine. The would appears to be healing or "closing up" but I just want to make sure it's nothing to worry about. The pic shows the missing scale but I couldn't get a close enough pic to show the "wound." Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
