Do you have him in with any other turtles?

It just looks like healing skin to me.

yes, i have another res with her.
i havn't noticed any signs of aggression or anything.

I would probably wipe the area with diluted betadine or chlorhexidine and let it dry for a couple of hours. If the area is a wound, then I would also apply some neosporin to the area when it is dry and dry dock a little more.
