I've heard that an iodine solution bath is good, but I don't have that right now and won't until Thursday. What can I do in the meantime? I'll try to upload some photos today.
For a single dark (grey-orange) scale you do nothing, except be on the top of your husbandry. There is not reason to bath your snake and stress him or apply anything on it for a SINGLE scale, it will go away with the next shed if you provide the proper environment.
