If your turtle looks as bad as that, then the abcesses are bad. They cause pain and are infections so you need to get your little one to the vet's ASAP. Ear abcesses are pretty common and are quite treatable, but it takes a vet to handle them. Please get him/her treated as soon as you can.

Good luck.

I am ... i just cleaned the tank like a week ago but i'm going to take them out of their current tank and put them in a different one and do an overhall on their tank... I think i might even get new rocks for their basking area....
