Help with Skin Condition Please

One of my females has white, powdery "stuff" pretty much all over her back and tail. It is not on her belly at all. I am positive that this wasn't there the day before yesterday. I've tried to gently use a toothbrush to see if it would come off, but I can't see that it did anything. She just shed about 5 days ago and I think the humid hide may have been too wet. I usually change the peat moss out after that, but I had a crappy week with work, and just got to cleaning everything today. Anyway, there was nothing unusual in the hide (no mold, fungus, smell). So, does this look like a fungus, bacteria, or what?
Thanks

She has been in with another female. The larger spot on her tail is definitely a bite, but it never occurred to me the little places might be bites too. She is a bit temperamental.......she tends to pick the fights, not be the one getting picked on. She scares the crap out of my male, and he's twice her size! Anyway, she is now by herself.

yeah, i had a few nasty females that started fighting alot, they each started getting more and more of those little white dots, and soon as i noticed it getting worse they were seperted, with yours, it should also go away with a shed or two, i'd keep her alone for now, until you got a more docile female at least
