Hi my turtle has a spike like growth in her shell above the neck area that causes her to bleed at times. Its kind of yellowish and I don't think should be there. Can this be trimmed or cut?
Could he/ she be just scratching an itchy spot with a normal part of the shell. Is it possibly mites? What kind of turtle? Sometimes they have little projections on their shell for a purpose.Hi my turtle has a spike like growth in her shell above the neck area that causes her to bleed at times.

Something like this would need to be evaluated and performed by an experienced tortoise vet.
