Servere Case of Shell Rot PLEASE HELP!

Hi yall! So i have a turtle that i bought from a pet store about 1 and half years ago. Her name is Kimmy. She is a red earred slider that is about 6 inches long i am currently housing her in a baby/kiddie pool, wut ever yall call them, out side in the sun. When i first bought Kimmy she had wut i would consider mild shell rot..I kept her inside at first and after about 6 to 9 months her shell rot had healed up. Well now she has shell rot again but this time its REALLY severe like she’s sitting in front of my right now and there is tons of big white blotches on her shell that have black in the center and the sides of her shell are slightly dissformed..i have tried keepin her outside because of the sunlight but it doesn’t seem to be helping..is there anything i can do for her? Please help thanks!
