Parameters are all zero...means not cycled?

Anyway, not related to the missing scale but it looks like a physical injury. Is the fish new? It may have tried to jump. keep the water clean and it should heal. Pay attention to the wound though.
 
Oh i just tot parameters meant ammonia,nitrite only...
Well detailed one
Ph---7.1
Ammonia---0
Nitrite---0
Nitrate---i dun test but WC weekly
Temperature---32*C
uhmm..im not sure about TDS(i dun noe wat it means)

TDS = Total Dissolved Solids, can be used to get an idea of the mineral content of the water. Hardness is useful to know too. I was really just pointing out that it is better to give more details than just say "everything is zero/good".
;)

I think it is more likely to be physical damage than a "disease". Keep the water clean and warm and keep an eye on it. If it doesn't heal or it drops more scales there could be something else causing it.
 
32 seems mighty warm to me. Do you always keep it that high?
 
its just drop scale, no need medication, just keep your water pristine and it will heal itself
