Quick question about humidity and shedding

What is the best and easiest way to boost humidity in my tank?

Max's last few sheds have been less than ideal which could also be because of a past injury. About 8 months ago Max sustained some pretty awful injuries toward his head and front part of his body. I was able to clean and care for them properly, he healed and is still going strong BUT his scars are not flush to his body, he has some raised skin. The skin looks fine, no redness, its not black or sickly looking, just a weird raised scar (I can take a picture if you need). Whats happening is that during his sheds, some of the skin is getting stuck. This weekend I'll be giving him a bath to remove the old skin, but I was hoping with a little extra humidity, shedding could become a little easier for him. I may have to take him to vet to remove the scar tissue, but behavior wise and everything else, he seems completely normal and there doesn't seem to be any discomfort regarding the scars. I may also just have to help him with skin removal every shed....

...Also, whats the ideal water temperature for bathing?

Thanks everyone :)
