This guy has been like this for a week now. He is eating well and behaving like normal. He didn't bump into anything lately. Any idea if this is parasites?

His head is not always tilting up. The head just happenned to tilt up when the picture was taken. I think I need to scoop him out to take a better pic for your to evaluating. The red area has been like that for a little over 1 week. It started with a little red small pinhole. Then the pinhole went away and it's just a blotch of pink on the head. Now the pinhole reappear and its' bright red.

I don't mean to be rude but please do not derail my thread so that Anne can easily follow the thread and offer me a solution. I need to get this guy cure.
 
A closer up picture of the area would help.Do you have a ten gallon tank for QT or
hospital use?My first thought is its a bacterial infection.What anti-biotics do you have available?-Anne
