Injured BHP not shedding

about 6 weeks ago, my BHP managed to get inside her light cage...
light came on, quite badly burnt (luckily i was home and got her out)

took her to the vet, got some cream and antibiotics.
day after her lat injection, her eyes went cloudy. (i thought this was odd, as she hasnt eaten since last shed -she shed 2 days after the burn, a few hours before we saw the vet- and vet instructed us not to feed her which injecting)
anyway, eyes have since declouded, and skin has come off her head, and is "free" at the neck, and extra wrinkly all the way down.
she has also stopped rubbing to remove it, and has become inactive (from the day of burn, till last injection, she was always active)

what do i do?
vet instructed a low humidity enclosure, with a water bowl big enough ONLY for her head (so no soaking the wound)... so i cant really increase humidity to help...
i have also never "helped" a snake shed before either...

so, ummmm... help!
