Try and resize photo to 600 or 800 pixel's for the forum like some emails require , too out of focus using a 3024x4032 picture. But can see some trouble as you do. Do not wait to see if it runs it's course will just get worst and harder to correct. That's time lost for treatment now. Do as you doing for the other one . Clean , dry dock and the some cream. Get some silver sulfadiazine from the vet works much faster than anything else. Will take time to stop it , start treatment now or it will spread. Will/may take weeks before the shell look's better. May even take a good shed before shell itself looks better once treated but should correct itself in time . Too many like to wait and see what happens but the environments turtles live in it will spread if untreated. Then hard on the turtle along with complications too . Treat now to get control and stop it early , easier on you and Lighting !
PS 5-9-19 : hope you not to busy to start treatment since no reply . This turtle has lots going on and needs treatment now. I did download your photos to my computer and corrected them so I can see clearly on "my" end . The worst is the ulcerative shell too me. Dry docking is needed and a good cream to prevent infections or will get worst if not. Being Lighting is a rescue /wild turtle ... she must have more issues ( maybe blood infection too ) since in the wild most turtles can correct this , she could not correct . Turtle's from the wild shed not only to grow but to remove shell issue's too. Expect other problems too after this . Separation a must ! It's very contagious !
