My clown fish recently started to host on my borneman anemone and today I realized these white marks above their mouths. Could this be itch or a sting?

I don’t think it is ich or an anemone sting. It looks more like damage from fighting each other to me. It should heal up fine, but watch for infection.
Anemone stings will show up as brownish/black marks on the clown.

These are rub marks either from squabbling, cleaning rock or glass surfing (going up and down glass chasing their reflection). If surfing, place a mirror or white paper against glass to distract fish. If rob marks, should heal on its own however if it becomes red/sore, treat in separate tank with Seachem Neoplex

Looks like a mouth bite.
If not continuous, will heal.
