Your tortoise is going to grow lots so any blemishes will be unique or grow out. Your aiming for slow smooth shell growth. Please ensure, heat, light, diet, calcium, hydration and enc is correct. I see no issue.. .

Heat and warm plays and important part on movement and digestion. Varied food is also important cut small.
I soak mine 3 times a week in warm shallow water in a high sided container since it was a hatchling and it pays off as he is hydrated and energised.
Please read this to check your settings and set up and adjust.

Enclosure size also important to check as they need to stretch their legs and explore.
