My little mojave that i believed to have had mites has shed today but there's a couple of problems 1st one is he has shed skin left stuck to his tail do i just soak it an leave it a couple days and leave him to it to see if he gets it off or do i try bathing it and removing it myself?

Second one is this



it looks as though he's lost a scale during shedding and before he went into shed it looked like a little retained shed in the same spot so could have happened to him before what do you think and should i do anything with it?
He is just a small boy about 120g or so so the damage is very small

The scale will grow back fairly quickly. It probably wouldn`t be a bad idea to raise your humidity a little as well to help with the next couple of times he sheds.

as del says and hold a damp cloth round his tail for a few minutes and the stuck shed should come off fairly easally

I'd pop him on paper till it heals (keep it clean)
That's if he's not on paper
And I was recommend savlon when I have a royal with nose rub

I'd also try and remove the shed on the tail especially the tip
As you don't want it to start shrinking and constrict the tail tip
