I'm not exactly sure what you are saying. There is a swollen area on your red eared slider, that is next to the red part on the head? How swollen is it? It could definitely be a small tumor. Or, more likely an infection. The best thing to do is get it checked out by a vet. They should be able to tell you. Good luck!

That would be an abscess. You can try using a turtle sulfa dip per directions to try to reduce it, but almost all abscesses need a vet's care to open up and treat.

this can be an indication of a respiratory infection (yes, respiratory infection). He should be seen by a vet.
