Red discoloration on russian tortoise shell

[aibeasley]

Hello I have noticed this area of red discoloration on my russian tortoise shell. Please could you give me advice on what this is and how to treat it and how the rest of her shell looks to you?


She is eating well, receives calcium supplement, very active, baths approx every 2-3 days, and has come out of a very successful hibernation. Approx 3-5 years old. Her lamp is on 12 hrs a day.

Thanks

Looks like a bruise. It should resolve itself in a week or so.
