Thanks for providing the pictures. I would see if you can gently scratch off the white material with your fingernail. It appears if it could be the accumulation of minerals on the scales, from the water. Check and see if you have hard water. It so, try filtered water or bottled water. Secondly, monitor to see if the white areas disappears with the next shed. I don't think this appears to be a problem, but if your turtle stops eating or appears sick, seek a reptile veterinarian.
