Hey guys. For the first time in awhile a parasite out-broke in my tank, both my tanks. I obviously am treating them both but one fish now looks a bit strange. Here is the picture. Look at the front of his face. Excuse the picture quality as well. In person at looks as if the skin on the front of his face is wrinkled and.. dry perhaps. It is odd, I haven't seen it before.

Can you try to take a clearer picture? please.
 
Here. It is the best I could get. Basically instead of green the front of his head is faded and white, it is no long smooth, flat, and green it is now bumpy, faded, and rough.

Anything sharp in the tank that he could have run into? Hard to tell without a clear pic.

Ok well I am treating with formaldehyde and malachite green right now. Could I throw in some medication for hole in the head as well?

No meds for hith. Wait a bit and see how it goes. If it improves with water changes then it’ll be settled.
