both arms have this..is it in the same spot on both arms?

looks its hard to tell with him shedding this area. can you post pics after the shed?

 

[SomeRandomPerson]

Kind of looks like a burn to me. Was this on his arm before he started shedding?

one of my panthers has this too, but worse. I posted here and no one knew what it was..i also emailed some pics to my vet and he thought it didn't look like a burn but possibly some kind of local irritation..he didn't know what to do about it; told me just to keep up good husbandry..it has subsided a bit, over the course of a month, but still there..other than that he's eating, drinking and looks healthy.
