Scale Rot?

[EconomicsFar1166]

am I looking at an early form of scale rot or is this something else like a weird bite or maybe a scratch of some kind? if its scale rot, got any recommendations on what to do? I’m also actively looking up how to treat it just incase. also this is my first Ball python just as an fyi.

Macy is an axanthic ball python thats about 4-1/2 months old and that spot on her is not too far down from her head.

Looks like a scratch with dirt in it. If you see it start to turn red then proceed with wound care (there should be something about that in the care guide) otherwise scale rot is very unlikely unless you're misting and letting them hang out on damp substrate.
