I was wondering if this is the start of shell rot? Its been like that for a week. They get to go out in the sun for about 20-30 mins 2-3 times a week. Im thinking its because of the unsheded scutes? Ive tried taking them off but its very thin and breaks easy.

No change in diet, just plants, small fish, worms and pellets. Other turtle is fine. This turtle is always a light colour but has now got lighter. It also has a dark lining at the bottom of the shell.

Hope pictures are good enough, turtle wouldnt keep still.

It was a mild case of shell rot and is all fixed now! I asked on a turtle forum and got professional advice.
