[Symptoms] Open wound with small white maggots within. May also appear as lumps under the skin. A small hole with a black crusty discharge is an indication of Botfly larvae. [Common Cause] Myasis (infestation of a wound with maggots). [Treatment] 
This could be prevented by bringing in wounded turtles from an outside pen. Maggots must be plucked out with tweezers and the hole needs to be flushed with Betadine® or peroxide. You could also kill the maggots first by filling the cavity with petrolium jelly which drowns them. All loose tissue and debris should be removed from the entire area. Once maggots are all gone, pack with a triple antibiotic ointment daily. If wounds are massive in size or numbers, see a vet for a round of antibiotic injections.
