Answer
Hi Bhanu,

If your turtle is still alive I don't think she has septicemia, because septicemia is rapidly fatal without treatment and your turtle would have died by now.  Without seeing your turtle, however, there's no way for me to say exactly what the problem is.  It looks like there may have been some old shell rot on her shell (where the white parts are), but I can't say what is causing the pink color.  I can't make more specific medical recommendations because I'm not a vet and it's not clear what the trouble is.

Did you carefully read the links I gave you?  In all likelihood, any health problems she's having is due to improper care.  Good water quality is very important, so if you're not using a good filter for the tank you need to get one.  A varied diet is also important--I gave you plenty of information on providing a good diet, so please start giving her more than just turtle sticks.  If you haven't read the information, please do so today and make any changes to her care ASAP.  Good luck.
