Thank you for your help.

Looks more like an allergic reaction to an insect bite or sting than an abscess. If it is an insect sting or bite it should resolve on its own as quickly as it appeared. Give it a day or two. An abscess typically occurs in the tympanic (ear) area and has to be surgically removed.

How is your friend's turtle right now? My friend is probably experiencing the same thing too. Do you have a QQ group or we chat group that I can, if you are willing to allow me, to join?
