Has it ever gotten larger than the current size? Looks like an abscess, I wouldn’t be too concerned unless the fish is reacting poorly.

Fish is acting totally fine. It's been there for months and shrinks to almost nothing and then gets to the size in the pictures at its largest. Then shrinks again.

I appreciate your help!
