Hard to see in your photo, but it looks like the lump is behind the eye/pushing out of the socket? If so, likely a bacteria infection, and you can probably treat with aquarium salt (1-2 tsp/gallon).

Advice stands, aquarium salt @ 2tsp/gallon. Some say you have to ease them into the salt, I say (especially given the extent of the bulge...) That you can throw it in all at once. Dissolve in a fresh water on a water change.

Have you done anything to treat? how about water changes?

Does epson salt helps?..ive read abt in an article..im new to this fish so i hav no idea..

 

[BrookKeeper]

SEE POST #2 and #4... EPSOM OR AQUARIUM, PUT IT IN... why are you asking now when this recommendation was made two days ago? Your fish is likely going to die if you do not act quickly.
