Box turtle cracked on edges

My box turtle has cracked scales along the edges of her shell. It's been like this before I had her but I don't know if it's normal. The scales are coming off, but I can easily lift a part off and break it. Is this normal or do I need a product to protect her shell?

Is it just a see-through bit that is coming off, or the whole scute? If it's just the see-through bit, it's fine. If not, see a vet.
