It might be, but then again it just might be a slight scrape from a rough object. At any rate, treating with the topicals you used won't cause any harm.

Ok she seems fine exept she decided to sleep in a different area then usual, she does not like me touching her because of how shy or like scared of me she is but its getting better!

Don't think it's shell rot, but I'd rub some Lotrimin on it for a while. Is she on wet substrate?

Nope I make sure the substrate ain't wet

Is there a hard/gritty surface that could've scraped against the plastron? Dry substrate really minimizes the risk so I'd just keep putting athlete's foot cream on it until you're sure it's not rot (for peace of mind).

I do not think so.

Your tort looks nice and healthy.
