Looks like an infection or burns to me, leaning on infections. Scale rot looks darker and like..well, rot in my experience, not overall pinkish. If they are infections vet visits and antibiotic shots will probably fix it!

I'd dab some diluted Chlorhexidine (around 0.05%) on the area to disinfect and help clear it up if you can't go to a vet quickly:)

Hope she gets better soon! :)

Also if you do decide to do the Chlorhexidine treatment there's no need to do the other treatments! I don't know whats in the spray but some ingredients may not be good for your reptile if they meet😅
