Early stages of hole in the head may be visible with pin size holes & sores above the eyes. The best treatment & preventive measure I can offer is to keep a clean environment for the fish. Can't recommend any type of medication because I've lost several oscars to it in the past. The best remedy is to have pristine water conditions so that their immune system will tolerate & fight off the disease so it can survive. Good luck!

Sometimes it also creates large holes along the lateral line as well.
