eye scale retained

Just needing some help with Stellar as she seems to have her old eye scales on. It looks like they are starting to push upwards as it looks as though they are lifting up a little and it is only noticeable on the top half of her eyes.

Anyway last night when I saw it I got a wet cotton tip while Ray held her still and tried to wipe it which didn't do anything and I got upset because she really didn't like being held This morning before I had a shower I put her in the bathroom in her click clack with water in the bottom and a towel. Anyway while I had my shower I could see her putting her head under the water and pushing her head into the towel but she didn't get eye scales off. I took her out of the click clack and tried wiping it again with the wet cotton tip but it wasn't doing anything again.

I don't want to keep doing it because I don't want to stress her out or hurt her . I don't want to put tweezers anywhere near her eyes and I'm not sure about the sticky tape thing either. Would anyone know if the sticky tape idea would be ok and if I did that would I soak her first then do it? Also would it be a bad idea because the scale seems to only be on half her eye?

Sorry for writing so much and thanks in advance for any help!
