Poking a tortoises leg should not detach the skin, unless their was another underlying problem.

As sandy and Terry have said this is also a new one on me.
The only thing I can think of is the vet you have seen has no idea at all and what they are looking at could just be shed skin which if you have never seen it before might be why he is thinking what he is is there anyway you can post a picture so we can advise better.
