What's wrong with the crack on the scalp of the turtle? What should I do?

Cracks on the glans scalp may be caused by inadequate hygiene, bacterial infection, fungal infection and other factors.

Being in a dark and humid environment for a long time or not paying attention to local care may cause irritation along with the glans and skin. The skin of the glans is relatively sensitive and will cause cracks after being irritated. Local care needs to be done to avoid infection and local cleaning is also required.

Bacterial infection generally refers to the local area being in a dark and humid environment for a long time. If it is not adjusted in time, it may be susceptible to bacterial infection. Bacterial infection will also be accompanied by cracks in the glans skin. It needs to be improved under the guidance of a doctor through disinfection with iodine, erythromycin ointment, and tacrolimus ointment treatment.

Fungal infection generally refers to insufficient local cleaning and stimulation by fungi. It will be accompanied by itching, redness and swelling of the skin of the glans area. It needs to be treated with topical antifungal ointments under the guidance of a doctor, such as ketoconazole cream, clotrimazole ointment, compound ketoconazole ointment and other drugs.
