1 thing i dont understand with this creature is that... do they really need pump or? or moving water? are they just like red eared turtle which do not need any pump at all...

is that some kind of bacterial infection or worm?

Are you keeping it in brackish conditions? Set its tank up brackish with a substrate of sand and aragonite sand/rice and provide it with some direct sunlight. Ensure temp is 80F to 84F. Check out the care sheets on this site to ensure you're providing it a proper varied diet.

I would also suggest a large water change. Can't hurt.

Sorry but did you even did your reserch before buying this animal? Fly river turtles not only need "pumping" and filtration but they are one of the most demanding turtles regarding water quality. They need near pristine water quality in the long term if they are to trive. Your turtke has a bacterial infection and it can easily kill her. You need to improve your conditions asap if your turtle is to live, dont delay.
