It looks like He's just shedding.
Most reptiles do it all in one go but tortoises do it but by bit.
As long as the skin underneath isn't red or irritated then it's fine and perfectly normal :)

I'm in the same boat... Just bought him a humidifier, but have to return it, because it shuts down after 10 minutes.

You can soak him daily for a while, it won't harm him. What is his enclosure substrate?
