Did he get bit?

That's what it looks like.

I have seen on here where people recommend neosporin for light wounds like that.

could she have been bitten accidentally by the other turtle while trying to eat?

Yes, turtles will bite each other. Sometimes by accident and other times intentionally due to aggression. Keep an eye on them to see if they are getting along.

Are there any decorations in the tank that would cause a cut or scrape? This also could be what may have happened.
