What are white spots on my leopard gecko's ears? She's itching!

Question

hello, I am really worried about what these white specs are, I already ruled out ticks/mites knowing that Reptile mites are black in color. Could this be excess skin that got stuck around her ears or something else? she's been itching her ears a lot and like I said at the top, I am worried what it could mean. if you can help me identify the white specs, I'd sure appreciate it. Edit: I did enhance the photo for better identification purposes.

Hi there, unfortunately your photo is not attached to your question. White spots on Leopard geckos can definitely be retained shed, but can also be bacterial or fungal infection. Make sure your temperature and humidity is appropriate in the cage. A great resource is for this information is www.anapsid.org. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Pet Coach
