Red spots between scales

[Natz1007]

Hi I’m after some advice, my small beardie is around 4 month old, eating well growing well shedding and very active! But we have noticed some small red dots between scales just wondering if anyone has any ideas what it is, I did presume mites, took everything out disinfected everything! Swapped substrate to paper towels for easy clean and to be able to see if the old substrate was the issue (was big wood chip) iv attached a photo of his/her underbelly to show as it’s the most clear …. Any advise welcome! (He/she is shedding too if that makes any difference at all)

I had a feeling it was mites - so I asked someone who would know and this is what she said
It could be residue from the wood chips but it's more likely to be mites that were living in the wood chips. I've never had to deal with mites but if you Google that topic you'll get some ideas on what to do.
