It's hard to tell with the blurry picture but it does look like a shell infection or something. I would get your turtle to a herp vet ASAP.

if i can i try n take a clear pic of it.

[Kallistos]

No, don't waste time doing that, just get it to the vet...

This looks somewhat similar to another recent post of a plastron...

Is the turtle healthy---active and eating well? What is the turtle being fed?

The redness, from what I can see, (the picture is rather blurry) is on opposite sides of the plastron, but in the same area. What kind of basking area does the turtle have---is it abrasive?

Are there any places where the shell is open and peeling? Just from the picture, it really doesn't look like shell rot to me.
