Try soaking him in luke warm (not hot) water. He should always have his head above the surface of the water. Also, make sure he has something rough in his tank to rub on, like a rock or stick, but make sure he can't hurt himself either. Finally, if he's docile enough to be handled, you can pull the skin off yourself.

A beardies skin does not grow like a humans. Instead they shed it much like a snake does. Instead of shedding all at once though a beardie will shed sections of their bodies at a time.

What are the signs of shedding of a bearded dragon?
Its very normal for a bearded dragon not to eat while shedding...BUT if this behavior continues, and just never eat or there is a dramatic change in behavior it could be a possible sign of a illness. A good sign for shedding is the skin will actually get a white film like look over the skin. It'll look different from different parts of the body because he will not shed all at once, they are not like leopard geckos, Bearded dragons shed in stages. Remember a bearded dragon doesnt need assistants of pealing of the skin..when the skin is ready to come off, your beardie will try to scratch at it or even rub that part of the body somewhere rough.So please do not peel any of the skin off, UNLESS you see at the tip of the toes (the nails) if you see skin there that just wont come off in a long period of time that's the only time you may help, because that can lead to blocking off the blood flow
Why do bearded dragons go really thin?
The same thing that causes other reptiles to shed - they're growing ! Reptile skin doesn't stretch as it grows (like human skin does) so, periodically, they need to ditch the old skin in favour of a new one growing underneath.
