It's kinda hard to tell. In the pics it looks like just a thickening of the slime coat, like he might have scraped himself. How long has it been since you noticed it?

Hi Aimara!!! It's been a few day's. I didn't think about it being the slime coat. It's not easy to get a good picture. Thank yo for your help. I appreciate it!!!

I'd keep an eye on it. If its still there after about two weeks or if it gets noticeably worse/other symptoms arise then I'd break out the microscope and the meds lol

Good to see you again btw!

Thank you so much!!!! What medicine would you recommend?
 
Without a scope to confirm an ID, I'd start gently with just a medicinal dose of salt. Salt fixes quite a few issues and has fewer side effects. There are heavy meds that certianly have their place in the hobby but why use a sledge hammer to drive in a pin nail?
