Not exactly but similar ^^^
I read that I should give it a saltwater bath, but is it some type of special salt or regular salt? I think another turtle had it a while ago but it went away.

yes, just only on the top of the neck. Where do I buy the turtle meds? Just hop on ebay and buy any Nolvasan solution? For Acriflavine, I can buy about 3 more turtles for the price it goes for :(

That might be an injury or bite, do you have another turtle in there? I'd try dry docking then wiping with some diluted betadine, then applying some neosporin.
