You may want to try giving her a rest for a shed cycle to see if she takes care of herself. Or pay for bottled water for her soaks for a cycle to see if it makes a difference.
If you soak before the shed it can make it worse, but I've only seen it get better after they've had difficulty getting the rest off. :]
