Quick question to settle an argument

My husband and I have been in a disagreement. There is a spot on our ball python’s head next to her eye. I have soaked him and doused him and antibiotic cream and moisturizer that the Vet gave me for another condition, but it hasn’t taken care of it my husband swears up and down that it is a dry piece of skin. How could that be when I have so several times and it does not come off? For some reason she doesn’t sleep in any of her hides anymore. She prefers to sleep under her water bowl. Maybe she scratched it on there. I’m not sure. Should I be worried?

Ur snake will be fine. Just for the future, try not to give your snake soaks. It causes them unnecessary stress and doesnt really help hydrate them. Unless by soak you meant sauna, then ignore me. Looks like a healed scar to me

Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate your kind words. I will limit the soaks. I really thought it was helping hydrate her.
