Long time lurker with a quick question!

[gfeder]

Hi wonderful people of the tortoise forum ! I have owned a baby cherryhead red foot tortoise for about 6 months. He seems to have white discoloration spots now and I am not sure if they are shell rot or just areas that lack pigment. If anyone could help identify this I would be most grateful .
