No not at this point. A vet could do more damage than good. Not many have knowledge of tortoises.Thank you! I am leaning toward advising them to contact a vet, since it may require medication.

Thank you! This seems like a great solution, I will inform them.Tell your friend to put over the counter athletes foot cream on it. If it is fungal as Jaizei thinks, this will help to heal it and wont hurt if its not.
Tell them to clean the area with water and put the cream on. Keep it off the grow line areas between the scutes. They should do this daily and if after a few weeks no improvement they can stop. If it improves, they should continue until healed.
