Typically with shell rot you should take him out of water and place him in a dry area 2-3 times a day to help dry out his shell. Also try a weak iodine solution to the rotten areas of the shell. I would make the iodine solution the color of weak ice tea. If this is not helping I recommend taking him to a vet for a good exam and possible topical medications for the shell. Hope that helps!!
