Please let me know if any of you had the same problem.

could you post a photo of the area. Sounds like it could be fungal. Is it always on wet substrate?
Legally no one here should diagnose this for you. It's practicing veterinary medicine without a license and/or without examining the animal. Both things are illegal in the US. If you think your tortoise has something wrong with it, take it to a qualified reptile veterinarian in your area.
You can practice dentistry out of ther trunk of your car.

Practice medicine if you were a doctor in Cuba.
