what are symptoms because my oscar has a lil dot on his head and im a lil scared for him can some one post pics?
 
any holes in the head which have a whitish look to them.

luckily for you this is extremely easy to fix.
 
hith is really common in oscars and other cichlids and usually go on living normal lives. it can be cured over time tho with meds and waterchanges.
 
My Tiger Oscar I picked up that was really sick came with HITH and man, he had some REALLY DEEP holes...2 of them.
 
Alot of people get Hole in the Head mixed up with natural sensors. Oscars do have sensors on thier head and it is often confused with small cases of HITH. Posting a pic would help out a lot.
 
I agree with the above post. As on Oscar ages, the lateral lines and the sensory pits on the head become more pronounced, and are often mistaken for Hole in the Head (Head and Lateral Line Erosion)
