My new blue tongue skink has bumps on his scales. Should I worry?

Question

Hi! We went to a reptile expo this past Saturday and fell in love with a northern blue tongue skink. We ended up bringing him home with us. Upon closer inspection we noticed he has a couple small little bumps on his scales. All we know about him is he is a adult male Northern. The seller said he’s a couple years old but didn’t know for sure. He is really the sweetest little big lizard! Is this reason for immediate concern? Hoping you can help! Pet's info: Reptile | Skink

Thanks for reaching out and including photos with lesions. This could be a result of a poor shed, infection or trauma. If doing well and eating/acting normally, maybe wait until the next shed to see if lesions disappear. If he appears ill, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
