General Care Discussion :: white spot on turtle

[chicken8d]

hi. i would like to know if the white spot on my turtles red streak is some kind of illness. it doesnt not seem to bother my turtle when i touch it and it seems to be fading away. my turtle is active and is eating. she is acting normal as if theres nothing on her. fyi, my turtle is currently staying at a friends house.

here is a picture.

How long has your turtle had the spot? Is the area flat with the color missing, or is there an actual lump starting with that area being the head? If there's no lump and since you say the spot is fading (meaning the color is returning?), perhaps your RES scraped himself on something and it's now healing. I'd keep an eye on it for now.
