Baby Corn Snake stuck shed on head

Hello fellow owners. This is my first corn snake, and I've had him for about a month now. He is an Anery Bloodred and just had his first shed on October 14th. He had some stuck shed on his neck and head for a couple of days after the main one was gone, so I have him a couple of baths to get it off. I think it's all gone now, except this little spot on his head. I am not sure if this is old skin, or just how his scale is. Any help with this?

Honestly from the picture, I can't quite tell. Does it look flaky or pulled up at the edges? If you think it might be a bit of stuck shed, feel free to let him slither through a damp paper towel while you apply gentle pressure to the area. If it's shed, it should come off and if it's not, then the damp towel trick shouldn't be detrimental.

I gave him another bath a few hours ago. Didn't come off. It's just that little piece I circled is a bit duller than his surrounding scales in person. I looked back at previous pictures and I can't tell. I've heard for small pieces of stuck shed like this they can come off when he sheds again. I am just worried I guess.

Update: Jai'reef just had his 2nd shed, and that little spot came off! However, it did leave a mark on him. Hopefully that spot blends in later with the rest of his skin, but if not then that makes him more unique!

Interesting! I bet it will heal and look normal after a few more sheds.
