Some skin disease or parasite? Mites? No idea! The only reptile I feel somewhat comfy about giving care advise is a RF tortoise. Someone with broader reptile experience will be by to help you soon I'm sure.

It doesn't look like that beardie has finished shedding around its head at all. Unless you have a different picture.
But I would agree with Pearly & say that your beardie' still shedding.
Give it a good soak, that might help get the skin to come off.

She might be bumping her chin on something????

By the way, that's a great picture for us to see what you're talking about. Good job.

Thank you . Pretty positive it isn't shed. Almost looks like blood blisters. See the open part above

I see what you mean in one or two spots, but again, the coloring looks way too light to me for that to be your beardeds natural color, especially looking at the neck coloration.
Do you have any other pics?

Do you leave live food in her tank that could be chewing on her in her sleep?

If not it could be fungal. I'd recommend a vet visit if you can swing it.

No live food is left. I was recommended anti fungal over the counter meds. Thoughts?
