Potential Health Issue?

[Sam-E]

I am new to owning beardies and got mine about 6 weeks ago. He had been growing and everything had been fine so far. He did start shedding recently, so I added moisture in his tank more and gave hime a bath last night with shed-ez. When I was gently rubbing some of the skin that never seemed to fall off in the last couple weeks, I noticed one side of his jaw looks swollen, doesn't have the same shape as when I got him, and had some yellow coloring on the side of the jaw and under his neck. I do have an appointment with a reptile vet on Tuesday (since Labor Day is Monday), but thought I would see if anyone know what could be happening in the mean time. Attached are some pictures. The first picture is the healthy looking side. The second and third are different angles from the swollen side. There is shedding skin on that ear, but not in the canal anymore. I did NOT pull or tug any skin at any time. Thanks for any help or insight provided.

He may have pulled it himself. Keep it clean with a weak betadine solution that resembles weak tea and use a piece of gauze to gently cleanse it and antibacterial ointment without pain relief on the spot.
