Shell rot can be present on a hard shell. It may be early infection or something else entirely. Scrub the spots with a diluted Betadine or chlorhexidine solution and a soft bristled toothbrush. Do this daily followed by 1-2 hours in dry dock (away from water). Confirm proper UVB lighting and adequate water quality. Lack of either can predispose your turtle to infection.
