Do scales grow back?

[LilyPlath]

Long story short, I recently rescued an adult Sulcata. She survived a house fire last year and endured a bad skin infection for several months after, and I nursed her back to health. Her legs finally healed, but only after they completely scabbed over and she yanked her own scabs clear off. There is no sign of scale regrowth, and it has been a few months now. Do their scales ever grow back?

Those legs may have been burned in the fire. When the sulcata closes up tight, the front part of the legs are left exposed. If it's a burn scar, the scales may never grow back. If it's not a scar, there my be hope for them to re-grow.
