Hard to say but yes I am with Steve 100 percent on photos and it can be something very minor to something you may want to monitor very carefully. The way you identified it and the turtles activity after the issue , does seem like this will be a minor issue really. How long was the heat lamp on top of the turtle for? You may want to take some natural Aloe gel and highly dilute it with water to the point that it can barley be sprayed but without a lot of force from a spray bottle that you can use more or less for soothing purposes at least 1 to 2 times a day. But do not make it where the gel sticks to the turtle for your knowledge and education. You never want anything ever that can trap in any type of infection at all ever. This is not the case here but that just gives you a example of how some problems gets underway. I have seen burns lead to these situations over time of course but keep in mind, this just happened and the turtle is acting normal so you pretty much are in the clear from what I can tell based on your wording. Good luck with everything and feel free to message me at anytime as well.
