scale rot help

Please help. My big girl Cal king has been in shed for the past week. When my snakes are in shed I don't bother them except for looking in thecage to make sure their in it. Today I saw that she shed and I picked her up and saw her belly was all brown with tiny sores. Please tell me what I can do. Thanks in advance.

Please describe the enclosure your keeping the snake in such as humidity, temperature, substrate, Heat sources. Are you 100% your snake has scale rot, I seen a lot of people mistake burns for rot, please post photos. I would verify all the enclosure setting are correct, use paper towel as substrate, & try to keep the enclosure in the most sanitary condition possible. I've heard people soaking with a little Betadine & water as well as applying triple anti-biotic ointment (with no painkiller) but I personally would suggest seeing an exotic veterinarian soon as possible.

Vet says it is scale rot. I am treating it and he says it should clear up by the end of the month.
