hi lauren!
shedding is just part of an iguana growing bigger ... it can make them look kind of "messy" (like when people have a sunburn that peels ...) when an iguana sheds, it should be just a layer of dry skin that comes off ... it's itchy but doesn't *hurt* any more than it does when people have dry skin ...
but it should NOT be leaving sore spots!!! ANY sore spots should be seen by a reptile vet as soon as possible! igs can get infections that can very easily end up killing them if you don't get them proper medical attention ...

best wishes from iZ + mom
