 Help! does my turtle have shell rot?!

my cuora amboinensis has white-ish looking scraches on it. how does it start? what would the first signs look like? and how would you cure it? i bought two of them today and the guy said his shell is peeling but i looked into it more and i started having second thoughts....
please help!

ill try to get some pics up asap. but the white-ish marks peel off pretty easy and when its peeled it dosnt look like the rest of the shell underneath it. maybe that helps you with any info of it being shell rot?
