skin tear in snake

hello everyone.

just wondering if someone would share a bit of expertise on a problem i have with a juvie female diamond of mine. she rescently tore a section of skin just below her head. it is maybe 8mm. no bleeding though you can see a little flesh when you look closely. cant talk to my local repti vet till monday though am currently seeking anothers advice, just wondering if any have had this happen before, should she not be fed till her next shed, i d hate to possible seperate the skin more, and will this scar when her next skin comes through. appreciate the advice as am very embarassed that this has happened.
