That's not damage. That's where the egg yolk is attached...where he gets his nourishment while in the egg.

The plastron is not damaged. That is a normal looking baby plastron.

The new growth will be smooth, but the little "damage" will be visible for a many years, at least it's like that in Hermanns (I guess the two small scars will be less obvious and vanish sooner on a large sulcata ).
Anyway, it's totally normals, every tortoise has it.

It's like you and your belly button.
