Damaged scales: what to do and what to expect

I feel really bad after what happened today. I brought my 1 year old corn to show her to a friend on webcam. She was quietly wrapped around my arm, but as I was typing something on the computer she rushed to the desk and was about to get inside my printer (yes, inside, not under). I reacted fast and caught her with only her head and neck in. A little bit panicked, I pulled her out from the middle of her body, but she found a way to push herself against something to stop me from pulling her out easily and as she was out I realized an area of her neck was dented. No scales were gone or lifted, thanks for that, but I am still worried. Should I clearn that area? Should I still feed her tomorrow? I am not sure what to do to help her recover best. Also, do you think she will always have that "scar" or will it go with her next shed?
 
I think she will be just fine! You can probably feed her and treat her like normal.
I would expect any damage to go away with a shed.
