Sorry should have explained better , since you have several things going on with the shell.
The whitish patches are fungus.
The shell is having trouble shedding , lots of retained scutes.
Brownish area very thick keratin layer trying to come off from old incomplete shed or too much came off , hard to tell from picture for me. Reasons for the questions I asked.
Growth lines wide and irregular along with scutes retained from incomplete older sheds.
I would treat the fungus before it gets under old shedding scute's and affect the new scute's underneath. This is to help it shed easier.
Give more time and attention to it's habitat , especially lighting and more varied balanced diet. Then with time and a few sheds the shell may correct itself for a smooth even growth .
