Bubble on my sulcata tortoises head

[Jonny Fu]

Hi guys,

Underneath my sulcata tortoises ear has a pretty big bubble I haven't felt if it was soft or hard but it looked like a blister. does anyone know what it could be? Is it serious?

Welcome to the Forum, Jonny Fu!

It might be an abscess. Could be that a bit of food or a sticker poked him and formed an abscess. If it were my tortoise, I'd take him to a vet.

Yeah, my one of my box turtles had something like that and had to go the vet and have it drained.
