Eliza I can't be certain because of the pics, but it does look like shell rot on his side. But as I said the pics not clear enough.

Eliza, what kind of camera do you have? For close-ups you need to have the camera in macro mode (usually a flower symbol). That should let you take clear close-up pictures

Thanks Kay for your thoughts Ive had my camera out all day trying to get some better photos but like I said before my camera isnt very good. Ive been reading though the threads on shellrot and it says theres usually a bad smell. Ive smelled Dior and cant smell any bad smell, just had a good look at her to make sure there isnt anymore anywhere else on her and thankfully there isnt. So my question now is whats the best way to go about treating it? Since I got her 2 weeks ago she has been getting daily baths dont no if this is right or wrong for a tort with shellrot? Ive got some Tamodine(Vetark) which says on the back antifungal wound cleanser so I presume this is ok to use? If so how often and does it need diluted as it doesnt state on the bottle. She is housed with 2 other torts which ive checked over and none appear to have anything,should I treat these torts aswel? Sorry for all the questions.
