hi guys looking for your opinion or knowledge on these spots,
I’ve recently purchased these two lovely looking discus but have now noticed a little white spot or growth which has know turned to two.
The fish seem fine in its self and is eating and my water perameters are fine
It doesn’t look like ich, or hole in the head and also doesn’t look fungal any advice guys

It could be Lymphocystis; A stressed, new fish w/ slightly weakened immune system. L.cystis is much like a fish cold sore. I've never seen it white, only red or brown growths.
Might be the Discus scaped it's face and a fungus has become attached to the damaged tissue.
Hopefully not Columnaris.
 
Ye that columnaris looks ruf, I don’t think so tho it doesn’t look furry or Cotten wool like its more like a white head/zit.
