you're gonna enjoy it, be prepared in the future, they get huge!
I do not believe in heat burns in the same place in 2 turtles.
Looks like a fungus or an infected wound..You can be sure that the fish will pick on it and will prevent it from healing.
Try a little salt in the water and give them a "sun-light" lamp with a basking spot.

I was just thinking about that caro Miguel
. Svang you can also aplly salt directly on the injuries. during that you hold the turtle out of the water for about 10 to 20 minutes. Repeat several times a day and you´l see how the injuries heal.

I'm getting really worried guys, it gotten worse. I got the med and stress coat, drying them first thing when i get home for at least an hour, will increase drying/sun basking time. I'll add salt to the tank, how much though because when I do my reg 20% water change I add salt.
I'll try applying directly to infected areas tonight. Will it sting the crap out of them??

Did you get the Zoo Med Sulpher dip stuff?
I'm telling you; that stuff works. It will clear up the same things that salt does only faster.
salt works if you dont have sulfa available.... put it in a seperate tank and if it is fungus you will want to add some salt to the main tank as well to keeo it from spreading...
