It looks like its weeping, huh? I think the tortoise needs to be put on a regimen of antibiotics, along with a topical salve over the spot.

Then I wouldn't worry about it. The new growth is very sensitive/tender. He might have sat too close to the light or something like that. You can paint the area with a Q-tip dipped in olive oil, rubbing it in good, then polish off the excess with an absorbent cloth.
