    Firstly take a deep breath and calm down. You are worried about the snake and that shows you care, even if you need some help.

    The curved scales, are those the rotted scales or are they near the rotted scales? That would explain the shape. Wait until after shed and see how they look. If the rot hasn't completely healed give your snake a weak betadine bath to ward off infection. Maybe a dab of neosporin, but that wipes off pretty fast on substrate.

    Edit: And with all cases of scale rot, review your husbandry techniques and make adjustments as necessary. MAke sure proper humidity, temp, etc is maintained. Scale rot is usually caused by too high a temp or wet substrate that doesn't dry.
