Tell her that by not taking a reptile to the vet, you (humans) can catch parasites and other things from it. It's in everyone's best interest that all pets are given regular vet checkups.

There are a number of medicinal treatments available at pet stores, the basic ones are called sulfa-dips, which work very well for certain bacterial/fungal shell infections, there are also eye drops for the not-so-rare eye infections among certain species, and there are multiple medical applications now available i believe that are made by Fluker's brand, available at many pet stores, all of these things are available online through. Also vitashell is a good shell lotion to help maintain a healthy shell. A vet is an invaluable resource to have though because many illnesses are only treatable by them. Good luck
