Tortoises do shed from time to time. The best thing is to leave things alone. If this is really bothering you, you can try to GENTLY brush it off. But don't go at this hard. If it is stuck, leave it there. If it becomes a problem for the tortoise, see a vet. Or if you continue to worry, see a vet.
Keep it slow and steady.
