Others may suggest an aquarium salt bath at a slightly warmer temp than usual, this will also fix the problem, but make sure you fix the cause of the problem, ie you might need to do a water change.

Hey Allan, Wardley's fungus ade is a treatment for the water and not meant to be applied directly to the skin.

Slim6y & Zeke, they are turtles and not tortoises. Only mentioning this as this is one of the old names that Australian freshwater turtles used to be called to distinguish freshwater turtles with Marine turtles. This led to the death of many Australian freshwater turtles, It's the same as hatchling turtles being called 'Penny' turtles!
