You need to take them to a reptile vet.
This is quite common in baby turtles kept inside. A simple solution is to soak them in a sulfa-bath. You can get it at a pet store in the reptile section. It is either a sulfabath or rid rot. But it will heal the turtle up if you follow the directions properly. I use to get this on baby turtles quite frequently and it always worked. However act fast this can kill a baby turtle quickly.
