Perhaps we shouldn't jump so quick to attack. She is obviously trying to find out just what she can do to help the little one. As great advice has been given she can only do what she can afford. We also don't know where the tortoise came from and if she could even return it etc.
I believe that all the above advice is worthy of consideration. Try to keep it clean, use an ointment like Danny said, and try to call around and see if vets have any opinions or ideas as well as any low prices. At times it can be less than 65$ for such a treatment that your tortoise needs, and vets are almost always willing to give advice to an owner in need.
Good luck!
