I would be very careful about the use of savlon (or detol) they may provide some antibacterial funtion, although limited, they are certainly not anti-fungal (unless savlon has changed in the last few years).
For humans, fungal infections are generally cleared up with a topical anti-fungal cream. But I was quite pleased to know that selenium sulfide, a common ingredient in anti-dandruff shampoos also is a major killer of dermatological funagl infections (ring worm, thrush etc).
I used selsium blue (i think that's the correct spelling) for all my fungal infections (haha...).
Serious... selsium blue does work on humans. I did a study on it at uni.
But for a tortoise??? I really don't know!
