Hard to say without a better pic; but from what I can see it just looks like a bump or scratch.
okay thanks yeah im starting to think its a bacterial infection. do you think its contagious or does it just depend on the type of infection?That looks like it's getting worse. Could be Lymphocystis or possibly a bacterial infection.
I'm guessing the latter as it would be usual for a damsel to get Lympho. But check out the pics in the blue link above and let me know what you think.

what is the routine for water changes while using these?You'll want a broad spectrum antibiotic for an infection. Kanaplex and/or furan2 are good ones to start with and are usually easy to get. You can combine those two along with metroplex for a very wide spectrum if one isn't getting the job done.

okay thanks ill update it works outThey should be dosed every 48 hours right after a water change each time. Do this for a minimum of ten days.
