I don't see a picture. Any idea how it happened? Any other turtles kept with her?

[Bogdan85]

She saw him yesterday,no there no other turtle with him,she has two of them but they are not staying, together since they fight each other.

[steve]

Is it a scab? Is it an open wound or bleeding? Not all turtles like to move around outside their tanks, is this a sudden change in behavior?

[Bogdan85]

It is a wound from overgrowing her shell,my sister went with her to the vet,he give her two injections,had she will have to eat one a week.
Today she moves around a lot,a she usually dose

The shell doesn't look overgrown to me, but that doesn't mean she couldn't be injured from it. Hope she heals quickly!

external injuries are often healed without any special treatments... one of the perks of being a reptile and regenerating your skin I suppose Hope she heals quickly
