Posting a pic of the shell while dry would help. It could be normal shedding but it would be better to see it to be sure.

Impossible to tell without a picture. It could be shedding scutes (has your turtle been growing?), but from your description, it's difficult to hazard a guess.

yeah squirt has grown a lot like she was a little over 1 and a half inches long now she is almost 2 and a half inches long!!! could the white spots on her shell have came from that?
