I just noticed one of my cherry head tortoises has one of her red scales on the top of her head peeling off. Is this common for them?

Do you have more than one living together?
It looks like a superficial scrape.
I wouldn't worry about it.
If it looks irritated, put a tiny smear of antibiotic on it. Not near the eyes.
