Is the red spot new? Getting larger or smaller?

Is the red spot new? Getting larger or smaller?

No, it isn't new. It was there about a month, and it is the same as last month. My parents said she will be fine as long as she eats, but I am really worried.

It could be an inication of septicemia. Although, I am not 100% sure.

Its not a blood infection, once a turtle shows red spots as a sign of septicemia that means its in the advance stages. Also its spreads very quickly all over the turtle. If it was septicemia in a months time more red would have appeared all over the turtle and it would be dead no doubt in my mind letting it go that long.

ID just watch it, it possibly is a bruise, you just see it more seeing as its an albino. Since its eating still it should just eventually fade away.
