Looks like shell damage like the carotin is missing in those spots. Is there a ridge at the edge of the white spots?

Yea, it does. Is there anything I can do for those spots?

Nothing can repair the Damage the thing to do now is try to figure out how he was hurt and prevent it from happening again. Was he hurt that you know of? What lights are you using? Could you post pictures of the enclosure?

The shell has grown very smooth you have clearly done a great job raising him so far!

Is this tortoise housed indoors or out? Are you using heat lamps? CHEs?

Was the part that came off 'flaky' in any way. Is it only affecting between the scutes? If it's limited to specific parts I'd think possibly some sort of fungus.
