I'm willing to bet that you're going to see improvement with every shed from here on out, and that it will gradually close in and then regrow scales. Use the non-pain relief antibiotic cream, keep it clean, don't let things get too wet and it should be all right. I think without stuck shed issues, you're not going to have an ongoing problem with things like that opening up.
