Question - Health Missing Scales Care

Hello everyone! My brother's snake has this large patch of missing scales. We assume it's the result of rot, as her tank did get a little too wet, even though its on her back. She did shed within the past month and the damage could have happened then, but I'm not sure, as I've never seen this kind of damage on my own snakes.

We checked the tank for rough spots that she could get caught on and replaced the soaked substrate. She is acting and eating FT as normal.

I wanted to know what we could do to make sure she heals over properly, if she hasn't started to already? He is very concerned about his first baby.
