Possible shell fungus/rot

Hi guys. After seeing pics of your turtles it's occured to me that Bowsers shell isn't "right"
To describe shell rot... it's what he has except his shell isn't soft of smell bad. It's like his shell has turned lighter instead of the normal colour it should be.
I'll admit to neglecting him due to ignorance up to now but correct lighting and heat lamps are on the way. I'll post a link to a pic when I get home from work as I don't have a decent one on my phone right now.
If it IS rot... how do I fix it?
He's fine in himself - eating every day as normal and swimming around. Where I live is hot all the time and he has a heater in his water so he basks a lot and is happy as larry in the water. Im just worried it might be a bigger problem if I just leave it be.
