For both now and future reference one of (the best really in my experience) best water treatments for turtle infection issues that can be used in the water is melafix (found in the fish section and used per direction in the aquarium water). melafix is a suspension of melaleuca alternafolia designed to mix into water - tea tree oil with a carrier so to speak. Tea tree has both antibacterial and antifungal properties. I have used it successfully for years to treat both bacterial and fungal issues on shell and skin with aquatic turtles - despite the name it is not 'oily' and while it cannot kill off a raging systemic bacterial infection it does a great job on the topical issues both fungal and bacterial. I use it in the 'straight' form for direct application with a q-tip - beware of open wounds - it can sting - available in the pharmacy (works well on people issues too :).
Now to the real deal - here is a link with actual photos showing shedding versus skin fungus. Treatment of dry docking is a huge part of the process but should be done on such a small turtle with care. http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/Care/emergencies.htm
