Sorry, it's likely the common pleco giving bichir head
Just monitor that area. As long as there are no hair like worms attached. It's likely trauma of some sort. Either pleco sucking it to death, heater burn, or could be decor. Infection if the above remedies are not addressed. Infection comes next.
Ive had my large polys scrape my powerhead and heater guards b4. It's never that patchy and circulatory. I believe it's the common pleco. That's just how many of them behave. U caught the misbehavior early enough where it's not in multiple spots.

I wouldn't think it would be the L24(always wanted one) commons are well known to develop a taste for slime coat. How wide is the spot and how wide is the commons head? Even if the spot on the bichirs head is bigger than the plecos mouth that may not rule out the pleco unless the spot is atleast 2x bigger than the plecos mouth(a guess)
I have seen the common pleco sucking on my bichir before but didn't think much of it as he never showed signs of injury or discomfort
