Hi everyone! I bought this fish last week from a store. It arrived with a lesion that seemed to be healing a bit, but it has moved more toward the front. The fish is eating normally, not scratching, and breathing normally. Is this an injury or a disease? Thank you very much.

Looks to be an injury but keep an eye on it as although I doubt this is uronema, it often stars with the same pattern. If it becomes red or sore, treat with Seachem neoplex. It looks to be healing. If oval shape develops, please post pics immediately
 
Update-He looks much better in the aquarium, It was an injury,thanks
