Black scales on beard

[Chicklet]

Hey guys. I know I haven’t been terribly active for a while. Work has been hectic and will only get worse as I near the holiday season. Anyway Chichi saw the vet recently and got a full check up and an x Ray. She had a black scale on her beard but I asked the vet about it and she said it wasn’t concerning. Now it’s two black scales and I’m concerned. Her basking area usually sits around 98, her cool side is around 80-85 and her uvb is maybe three months old, four tops. I’m concerned it could be a fungus. Every other part of her checkup was perfect. Perfect bones, no parasites. Maybe I’m worried over nothing but I’d rather have a second opinion

Edit: it might be worth mentioning that she’s been running like mad around her viv. Pretty much until she tires herself out. She doesn’t have stress marks while she does it. She just runs.

It's really hard to tell from the pictures. Looks like it might just be a damaged scale or part of the black on her beard just showing through. Is the vet an exotic vet?
