Could he have hurt or burned himself? Looks strange, I haven't got a clue, what could it be, but I'd keep an eye on it, and see, if it changes in any way, and what happens after the next shed.

Beautiful snake, btw, is it a butter?

Ah, sorry, just read your other thread. I think sometimes it might take several sheds to get rid of a scab.

Looks like he's squeezed under something and caught his head. Kali does that a lot, except it is normally her neck rather than her head. It'll take a few sheds to heal properly

Ember had a little spot like this on her head when she was younger. It seemed to heal up, then it got bad again and actually bled one time when she shed and the shed kind of pulled off the damaged scale, I was really worried at this point, but fortunately after that time it then healed up fine and after 2-3 sheds it was gone. I was stumped as there was nothing I could find in her faun which could have done it - but I eventually realised that there were a couple of sharp corners at the catch for the faun lid so I think she must have done it there - she's certainly not had a problem since I moved her into her viv :)

Twilight did some similar damage to his head one time and as others have said, it took quite a few sheds before it righted itself. Also, his sheds had always been clean but with the damage I had lots of bitty ones as the scab interfered with it. There were lots of times using damp towels etc to get stuck bits off. He's back to normal now though and back to the clean shedding.
