not sure just noticed it. if scale rot what do i do or what is it

Not sure if its scale rot really, scale rot looks bad, scales looking dark like they are going bad. This looks like fluid under the scales, swollen kinda so its a possible burn. Do you use a UTH and is it hooked up to a thermostat to control heat?

i have a repti temp hooked up to my rack and monitor the temp with my hydro farm. A burn could be possible i guess tho just recently changed temp

Check the surface temp with a heat gun or something and confirm its 90f and no higher. If it is then Idk how it would be a burn. But if it reads higher (100f+) then you do have a possible burn. The area with the bad scales could have been the pressure point against the heat source.
