it's more than likely a damaged ray in the fin...the bone part that didn't heal correctly. My fh has been living with an identical mark for over a year after getting into a scuffle with a poorly placed divider. It is permanent at that point.
 
It doesn't look good and its not a damaged fin.
That's a growth for sure

yeah after those new pics, it looks like it could be something different. I was going to say keep an eye on it and if other things start looking off about your fish, then it definitely has something. Any other noticeable issues with the fish, besides the fin rotting? Do gills have any build up on them? And what do you mean you used iodine? why?

First thing I would add aquarium salt. (sodium chloride) 1 tbsp per 5 gal. Check your water temp and parameters. I also missed the part where you said it had a mark before and now it's a growth. Can you see anything hanging from the bump, worm perhaps?
 
Ya sorry fhlov

Well a couple of days ago I noticed this pinks spot that looked like it was getting infected. I showed pics and some one told me it looked like an anchor worm entry wound but there was no worms coming out tgat looked like a fork or anything so he said to treat it with iodine which I did you can see the pics from my post on fish diseases forum
