Ive gotten this tortoise from a breeder in Arizona and its been a while since Ive gotten him and she has always had this pimple like thing, I never touched it because I did not want to damage her and I assumed it would heal on its own.
That is the only one.

That is a bad sign. Do a search for "austwikia"here on the forum and read all about it.

If you have other tortoises, you need to exercise super strict quarantine procedures.

That is my only tortoise, from what I saw here and on google it is extremely contagious, and must be treated by a professional, what to do when nobody takes exotics where you live?

And are you sure about your guess? The bumps I saw that were confirmed cases of this disease were creamy yellow, this one is more of a transparent, and compared to some pictures much smaller.
This tortoise have been eating A LOT and as its the only bump Im not sure.
Cases also have always been from baby sulcatas which is amother point I should consider.

I've seen some that were transparent, and the animal recovered!
