my tortoise has a white ring round her shell what is it ?

my tortoise is 3 years old and she has a white ring round the top of her shell. what can it be im really worried.

sometime when a tortoise has a growth spurt the outer edges of the scutes look white, but if it starts to get bigger or spreads then it is best if you get it checked out by a reptile vet, if your tortoise is happy eating and active it is probably where she is growing, but without a picture it is hard to tell what it is, if it spreads it could be shell rot and need treatment, best of luck honey hope it is nothing worry about.
