Growth on goby face

[jordanrb]

I just noticed today my green goby has a growth on the side of its chin. The same colour as its skin so im not sure if it is a cut of any sort.

Doesnt seem to stop it from moving around and eating. Any idea what this could be?

Looks to be a skin tag from an injury but need clearer pics as these are fuzzy to tell accurately

Tough to see clearly, but it might be a vesicle disease that I wrote an article on. Here is the link (you need to open the PDF file for the full article).
