hi ,
I have noticed that on my turtle's head, the skin looks different like a sore or fungus as seen in the pic.If one zoom in a brownish like skin can be seen. Could anyone help me to figure this out and what can I do to treat her?

Thanks Justin

Looks like it might be an old injury. How long has she had this?

Was it whiter/rawer before? This could have been a burn or some aggression in the tank.

It does look like it's healing well, there should be a full recovery.
