White Powder On Scutes?

[HugoTheHermannTortoise]

Hi, I'm back with another question . I've been noticing white powdery stuff on his scutes, only a little bit, but something I'm worried about. I bathed him today for 20 mins. He pooped and peed all the right consistency. I poured water over his shell and the white stuff disappeared and then it appered again in the same places. ill get a pic and hope for the best.

please help.

Could it just be water/mineral stains?

I'm on my phone and the picture is very small, but I'd say they look like superficial scrapes or scratches.
I wouldn't worry about it.
Just keep an eye on the spots and make sure they don't grow larger. That would indicate a problem.
