, there is infact some red inflamation around the growth/cyst/wart. there are no multiples of it atleast. Tryin not to think the worst yet over here/jump to conclusions but the pic in that article is oddly similiar. Maybe ill get lucky and its just an infected wound/fungus that i can clear up with karamycin, salt, and clean water. I think i can eliminate parasite as the metro/prazi has had no positive effects after 3 weeks of ingestion.

for one. He is a vet who knows fish.
Some tougher worms only go with fenbendazole or flubendazole treatment (they are largely the same treatment but fen is safer and has replaced the flu which is banned now in the US, I think). Just something to keep in the back of your mind. Not saying that's what it is but responding to your tentative conclusion that it is not a parasite.
I think I'd do the same in your shoes - move on to antibacterial remedies. Albeit, I'd earnestly keep trying to get an expert or experts look at this.

, ill pull him out for some more difinitive pics for ya. He could have scratched himself on a zip tie end or piece of egg crate initially. What im seeing now resembles a large pimple/boil. White in the middle, red around the permitter.
