I noticed this on the belly of my ball python and it looked like it could be scale rot?

She has an infection (that's why she's swollen there) and she is being treated for that. This is the only place where I see this rot, so I'm not sure if it's related to that? What do you guys think? If it is scale rot is this mild enough that I can treat it at home? She also also been urinating a lot due to this infection (like, multiple times a day) and I clean it up every night, but sometimes she sits in it (not for very long, but nonetheless). Could this also contribute to it?

Obviously ask your vet about this too...you did say she's being treated for an infection? This is something your vet should be aware of...as is that swollen area if you've been trying to treat this on your own. That swelling is a bigger concern, quite honestly.
