Hi forum!

My box turtle (Deuce) around 3 weeks ago had some skin flaking off near his mouth. I initially thought it would just go away but is still there, and just in that spot. Can someone take a look to tell me if this is natural, if he hurt himself or if it's a skin issue? (he does scratch his head sometimes) And then if there's any advice on treating it?

Thank you very much!

John
