Answer
Not being a vet, I m afraid I cannot give you very specific information.

For most kinds of wounds or skin problems, dry the turtle off and swab the area with Betadine Solution (providone iodine). Let dry, then apply some antibiotic ointment and let everything dry for about an hour before returning her to a warm tank- water temps about 80-85F.

Repeat this daily.

Good luck!
