Blue tongue help!

my two ourdoor bluetonges have recently developed several lumps of scales, with one suffering worse that the other. They appear to be a buildup of scales or a lump underneath.
One is also present in the shoulder joint.
I'will try to get some photos up soon.

thanks in advance, any help greatly appreaciated

Saik. Could it be from bad sheds? I know they can lose their tails, toes, feet, legs - all from bad sheds.
Sorry my computer won't show me the photos.
