missing scales...

looked at my BRB today and he had shed, however he was missing 3 scales on top of his head... ill snap some pics but i've never had this problem before, they are basically just white spots where they are missing. first thing i thought of was husbandry and everything is fine, temps, humidity, etc. etc. the only thing i could think of which could cause stress is the move back to college, he also didnt eat last week which makes him 3 weeks off feed, hes still fat and active/alert etc. not too worried about that.

essentially, wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and if it becomes infected etc. can i hit it with polysporin and then take it to the vet? or just get him there asap? Thanks in advance.
