The skin is peeling only in areas ontop of the head.
I have no pics becaue the skin has already peeled.

Skin peeling in tortoises can be normal, they shed like other reptiles but they often do it in pieces.

When I rescued my female Russian she took a trip to the vet and he said her peeling was due to a lack of vitamin A. She was peeling real bad on her legs and tail. Anyone care to comment on that to confirm?

I do know that too much vitamin a can cause skin to slough off, and cause raw areas. IN you case though most hatchlings go through a peeling stage when they are growing.Iit seemed like my little one peeled alot for the first few months. upping the humidity in the enclosure will help keep the skin hydrated and shed easier. what is the current humidity at your torts level in the enclosure?? Oh and never try to assist the skin peeling just let it do its natural thing.
