Could you not bathe her in warm water to try and ease it off?

I could be totally wrong here, but I'd be really cautious about using human products on your animals, most products aren't always that good for us, let alone lizards! As I say though, I could be wrong, someone will surely be along shortly who can say for sure Good luck

Agreed.

One that I hear is safe for reptiles is E45. Its a water based emulsion moisturiser that is safe for babies. Just make sure that it can't get near her head.
