Answer 1

it does look like it is the start of something and possibly it could be shell rot, you need to get your tortoise to a reptile vet for treatment and your tortoise should be ok, it is at a place in the shell that if it rots through could cause problems so you need to get it sorted quickly, best of luck hope your tortoise gets well soon

Answer 2

It doesn't look like it. I would be careful though, give it baths and if it doesn't get any better in a few weeks, consult a professional. Look up on care sheets on the web, they generally have a section on illnesses.

I hope it's ok!
