Need a quick answer to a problem

My crestie just got off one of his sheds about 2 days before, I had only seen him/her shed once before that but that was on New Years. I caught him right about the end where he was peeling off his tail, and I thought he was all good after that, but today while he's sleeping now, a big white area appeared at the end of his tail, perhaps stuck shed? Above the tail it is mildly shiny, and now it's just all white today. If someone could answer fast please I would appreciate it because if its stuck shed i want to get it off ASAP so it doesn't do any damage, il try to include a picture, thanks image.jpg

To be honest, it's hard to tell from that picture. Is there any chance you can get a better close-up?
If it is shed, it should look like it's 'something' covering the skin. I can't think of anything else it could be, at least not without more info, or a better picture.

If it is stuck shed it should come off. Just make sure his enclosure is humid and even spray him and the tank with warm water.

I'm prepping a bath/sauna to see if I can get it off if its stuck shed, sadly my camera quality isn't good so thats as good as I can make it :( the end of the tail is shiny again and it swelled a little so I'm really hoping nothing is wrong, he has an auto sprayer so I don't think humidity is a huge problem

I just tried sauna, nothing came off, but now there's a white spot on the tip of his tail, very small, does that mean anything?
