Hi, I have a juvenile Hermann's tortoise who is being treated with betadine and silver sulfadiazine cream for a few areas of minor shell infection on his plastron. I noticed that one of the areas that was healing has covered over with a whitish crust and am not sure if this is normal (part of the healing process) or the infection returning. I am attaching a couple of pictures and would appreciate others' opinions. Thanks.
