I've seen marks like that before after one of mine shed. I assumed that some of the new scales came away with the shed for some reason or something like that anyway. Either way the 'marks' were gone after his next shed.

Well those that say they've been a abducted by aliens (nutters) say they have triangular marks left on their neck.

In a more serious tone, it looks like nothing much really, they get dinks and scrapes all the time. Keep an eye on it and if it doesn't go away or gets worse after a shed (as it's unlikely to go anything much before that) then it may be worth further investigation.
