Welcome! Looks like new growth to me. In between the scutes correct the whiteish cream looking lines if what your refered to? New growth is always a good thing.

Hello and Welcome. Can you get a more clear picture. Looks like it might have scraped itself on something. However, the pic is not very clear.

Hello and welcome. Unfortunately the picture is to blurry to say for sure of what it might be. Could you post another, please?

I think you're talking about the whitish ring around the bottom of your tortoises shell correct? If so that is just new growth and is perfectly healthy!

Welcome! Wish I could help with your question, but I'm new myself, and your picture is too blurry.
