Shedding concern

[DimetroDork]

Okay, I'm a very new owner and although i have read the full caresheet several times, bear with me a bit.

My little bluey is beginning his shed.
General info, he is four months old, male, Merauke (in case this is somehow helpful).
Nothing is really wrong thus far, but a certain spot where it's really starting to peel up is near his eyelid. Now, I read all about toes and ears and such and how you may want to gently help them out if it's not coming off. I don't think I need to do anything just yet, of course. But he is clearly kind of bothered by this itchy spot, and has been rubbing on things in attempt to loosen it; his hide, his basking rock, the walls, ect. My only concern is that he will rub too hard/not be as careful as he should be and damage his actual eye? Should I be concerned or offer anything to help? Should I try helping get it off or provide something a little safer to rub on? It's probably fine.. but he is scratching on it awfully rough sometimes.

I want to avoid injury for him as much as possible while still having him be comfortable. If there's anything I should do I'd love to know how to help.

This exact thing just happened to me with my 4 year old blotchy after starting a difficult shed. One eye cleared up quick but the other started to really cause him severe problems. I eventually softened up the skin with a wet cotton bud around the eye and folded it back to get it out of his eye ball a few days in a row until the rest of the skin had loosened up a bit and I was able to peel it back and remove the area that was causing him big issues. Mine got pretty bad aesthetically but this is not a super common problem with blueys that I have encountered. It seemed to occur as the skin on his eyelid came loose before the rest of the skin on his head was ready

Could we maybe see a picture? The only time I've had skinks rubbing their eye(s) have been when something I call "mystery illness" has been involved --and humidity has always been too low when the eyes get itchy.

This sounds (Potentially) like the problem we've been having. Please see my post here:

I've posted pictures. We believe it may have started due to a humidity problem. Would very much welcome a reply either here or on my post. Looking for help...thanks.
