It could be an abcess or a tumor it is an old fish so it's diffacult to tell from a photo. Please post your water perameters Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, Ph and hardness.

what's the Ph? We can try treating it and see what happens. If it's an abcess it should respond to antibiotics.
 
I'm thinking also it could be a bacterial infection...she has barely ever got sick since I've had her

For your water I would suggest Maracyn-two (Minocycline). It is skin absorbed and has good anti-inflamatory properties. It should work well here if it is an abcess from an internal bacterial infection. It works best in low Ph and soft water environments. Please keep us posted on how this old guy is doing. Do not combine this with anything else befor asking.
 
Thanks for your help much appreciated..I will keep you updated
