Don't ever like to "pull rank" in a dagnostic situation, but have been a turtle keeper for nearly 60 years, have encountered and treated many cases of "shell rot", had a career in lab animal medical research in which I developed expertise in antibiotics. Although topical antibiotics (such as silvadine and betadine) are helpful in resolving the lesions of true "shell rot", injectable anitbiotics are a necessary component of treatment, in most cases. Still not convinced this is "shell rot", however, although I am reluctant to make a definitive diagnosis over ther internet.
