Looks like either a slight scratch or dry shedding skin. Is it housed alone? What kind of substrate?

I use repti bark she’s housed with her brother but they’ve never been agressive to each other

Tortoises shouldn't be kept in pairs. I would separate them.

They’ve been together for over 10 years ..

Tortoises should not be kept in pairs. That is a fact any responsible keeper, like Ink, who told you this, knows, and knows why.

The only reason they’re in pairs is because my third tortoise tried to harm them I don’t know what to do anymore I was told to keep them together by a different user when that was occurring :// Im not trying to be rude I’m just confused

You are just learning like all of us. Some of us here are very, very experienced and can really set you on the right course with your tort's! I am not an expert myself, but I do know that golden rule about pairs being a problem, if not sooner, then later, but always.
