Your poor baby, that looks uncomfortable. Mouth issues can be very serious in snakes. Stomatitis, or oral inflammation (sometimes called "mouth rot") can be fatal. An affected animal may stop eating or drinking, or fall to infection. I'm glad your baby's getting vet care.
I don't have firsthand experience with Scaleless corns but mouth issues are common. No one else is chiming in so I will try. Some more info will be helpful.
What kind of medicine is your vet prescribing? What does the vet say about the possible cause of this scabbing? Does s/he think there is infection causing the damage, or is it the other way around?
Have you changed anything about the snake's viv? Different dishes, hides, substrate? Does the snake behave any differently? Have you observed it rubbing at all? What do you feed, how often, and how's its feeding? What are the temps?
I hope that your snake has improved already. Healing is slow work for them, their metabolism is much slower than a mammal's.
