Hello guys, I'm new here. I started in the aquarium world only 3 years ago. I try to unite a lot of fish in my aquarium and many plants. This has been very difficult as algae comes with this combination. But I'm trying.

My molly was hit on a rock, made a wound. Two weeks later the wound closed, it was swimming and actively feeding, there was only a small bump. Now, two weeks later, something started to grow in the wound, it looks like warts. With each day it grows more, she continues to swim and feed actively. It is still with the other fish. What disease is this?

Thanks for any help you can provide

Not sure either. I assume related to the wound. I’d dose some triple sulfa and paragaurd.

Thank you all. I didn't try the paraguard, but I tried the antibiotic and it didn't work. Does anyone have another suggestion?
 
I’d imagine it’s a growth of some kind. Hope it cont to eat but will see.

Thank you. As the photos above are two weeks old, today I took new photos. 20201025_115125 (2).jpg20201025_115152 (2).jpg20201025_115157(1).jpg
 
I had a betta a few years back that grew a tumor around the same area. 20201026_192625.jpg
The picture was taken about 6 months before I had to euthanize her. The tumor had grown over an 8 month period so im not sure if its the same as your molly but in my bettas final days the growth looked similar to the most recent pictures you posted
