Hi, I noticed my turtle seemed to have a cut in the hand and it was bleeding. I've taken it out of water and let it dry for about a week now. The spot turned brown, not sure if it is a scab or turning worse. This turtle does share the tank with another Red Eared in the same tank. I really appreciate if anyone has advice! Thanks, I'll attach a picture.
