Yes it can, but he will most likely be permanently scarred... its not pretty
It is caused by bad water quality. Do more water changes, and there is medicine you can use.

kinda not true, you can reverse the effect of HITH and if it isn't bad enough it will heal over. My Oscar developed 2 big indents, one on each side of the front of his face because of the food that I had switched him over to because I ran out of the pellets I used to feed him, then I switched him back and the holes filled in.

Start upping your water changes.
This might be off topic, but are you from NW IN and did you get the fish from a guy named Jason? (I know its a shot in the dark, but just checking)
