My Mississippi map turtle has yellow-brown spots. Is it serious?

Question

I have a year old male Mississippi map turtle which I have had for a week. I keep him in a large tank with plenty of water and a plat form. There is a heating light and blue light. I found strange spots on him with a yellow/brown color and I'm wondering if it is a serious thing I need to take care of and if so how I would handle it. Pet's info: Reptile | Aquatic Turtle | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 4 months old

Thanks for reaching out about Sheldon and including photos. Continue to monitor the growth of the lesions. Maintain pristine water conditions. You can try a gentle scrub with a soft brittled tooth brush and chlorhexidine or dilute iodine/betadyne. If lesion continue to grow, a veterinary visit is needed. Good luck
