Small black dot on tortoise neck

[Paddythebaddy]

The small one on the top. The other specs are just dirt. It seems like a small scab. Should I try to remove it? Is it a tick?

The top back dot not the bottom. The bottom spots are dirt. Is the above black dot a tick?

It doesn't look like a tick from what I can see. If you can't see any legs on it, it's not a tick.

It kinda looks like a tiny little scab to me
