I'm kinda worried because my bts has just finished shedding and he's got some small orange spots on his back, would anyone have any idea what this might be? :(

I think I see what you mean. Your skink looks good to me. Sometimes they can have scale color changes with sheds. If the scales are smooth and look healthy, I wouldn't worry.

Now I'm starting to worry it's turned red and dry, crusty I think it might be scale rot, God I hope not
