First have you tried just wiping it away to be sure it's not just on his nose?
Second,I almost think if it were actually coming out, the tortoise would be rubbing its face/nose to try and remove it.
If it doesn't wipe off, slowly and gently see if you can pull it out.

Thank you. Have pulled it away. It was stuck but there wasn't a wound behind it. Not sure what it was!

Your tortoise is beautiful. He seems to have quite a bit of pyramiding though. Maybe you can tell us how he is kept? Temperatures and humidity? Soaking?

Probably a piece of food😂

Whilst you’re here, I don’t suppose we could get some information on how you keep them? It’s good to know when new members join🥰

What are your temps like? Ie basking area?(directly under the bulb? Overall day temps? Night temps?

What kind of lighting do you have?

Any indoor uv? If so what kind? Packaging photos are handy

How’s your humidity?

What size set up do you have?

How’s their diet been?

Any answers to those questions would be great, Along with any photos you can get of your enclosure😊
