It isn't likely to be anything infectious to other fish. It looks like it involves the fish's cheek spine. I see that a lot from net damage. Maybe it got into a tussle with another fish? I would just wait and see how it progresses because the only treatment would be to move the fish to a treatment tank and dose with antibiotics - and that's hard to do, and sometimes, these issues go away on their own. Signs that it needs treatment is: rapidly increasing in size, the fish going off feed, or starting to breath fast.
