Looks to be a bacterial/fungal infection which looks liek shell rott as well from lack of UVA/B. Hows is the setup, size and everything.
 
Not the right place to post this, but IMO acriflavin will help with that skin infection.Follow the instructions on the bottle.
A vet would be the proper person to ask, but i'm sure you knew that already.
 
im with jozzep....not a message board...but i feel for you....that doesnt look good at all...bring it to the vet they neeto treat with an antibiotic injection before it gets really infected...
 
Ideally this turtle should be seen by a qualified exotics veterinarian with experiance. That is always the best way to diagnose and treat these pets. Skin and shell lesions cold have a multitude of causes but often are caused by sepsis. Often tests like cultures, bloodwork, cytologies and husbandry analysis can help to detrmine underlying cause and then the necessary treatment started from there. That may involve antibiotic injections, topical medications or antifungals as seen fit by your veterinarian. Take this from a fellow keeper but also an exotics veterinarian.
