I cant really tell by the pictures what it is, it could be fungi or it could be shedding skin but i cant tell. also, is there a basking spot for your turtles? i dont see one if there is but thats a big thing you need. them being in the water all day makes there shell soft and they get shell rot which kills them. Provide something they can get on that is dry and has a UV light and heat light for them. also fill up the tank as much as you can without them being able to escape. They LOVEEEEE to swim

Can you get something called a sulfa dip? It looks like this:

It also looks like skin fungus, as described on this page:
