Today I noticed something on Queso when he was basking that I haven't noticed before, and I'm not sure if this is normal, is because he's shedding around his mouth, is because he ate some strawberries yesterday, or if this is something I should be concerned about. Along the inside of his mouth near the tip of his snout, on top and bottom, the border of his shedding area seems red and irritated.

It's a little hard to see the borders of the shedding area because he's in a good mood so his color is bright. When he gets dark, it's VERY obvious where he's shedding. His new skin under there is also very orange, which gives it a pink tint (that, and the strawberries he did a faceplant in yesterday).
He has a good light and takes his calcium supplements regularly, and has no symptoms of MBD. And I don't think it's mouth rot because his breath is fine and the rest of the inside of his mouth looks normal and healthy. He's eating well, pooping normal, and is active. He's due for a bath tomorrow, but I've been misting his face more than normal this week to help with the shed. he's also been rubbing his face, so I know the shed is irritating him.
Am I paranoid? Or is this something i should be concerned about?
