While Lympho is more common on the fins, it can appear almost anywhere. Areas of concern would be near the eyes, gills and mouth. Since it is a viral condition, treating the immune system is a good move. Adding Beta Glucan to the fish's diet can work wonders on Lympho. Info on BG below:

Wouldn’t it be great if there were one thing that we could give any sick fish that could help it? Aquarists dream of a “magic bullet” that could be used as a treatment for a plethora of problems.
