Protrusion/ sore on regal angelfish chin what to do?

[moz71]

So I have a regal angelfish in QT for 6 weeks now. I got him eating really will mostly reef frenzy frozen food that I soak in selcon and zoecon. He had a good case of lympho that has completely cleared and the only issue I am having is this sore protrusion on her chin. It is a little red and a little fuzzy or white skin coming off. A couple of weeks ago I started dosing seachem Paraguard and I thought completely healed. Well I stopped and it came back in a week. I started the paraguard again a couple days ago as well now I am feeding kanaplex mixed with focus and food but seems to be VERY slowly getting better or it may be me just hoping and thinking I see it getting better. Lol. Should I continue or would anybody suggest something different. Sorry I’m terrible at pictures

Antibiotics are very slow acting on fish. Usually treat for 10-14 days. That being said, while kanaplex is a very good wide spectrum antibiotic, for sores/injuries in the head area, using Sulfaplex + Neoplex works very well.
Beautiful fish!

Thanks so much for you feedback. I will give the kanaplex a few more days and if no improvement I will switch to your recommendations. I need to order or find those meds anyway.

You are very welcome. Best of luck with your beautiful fish!

It might be lymphocytis. I had a regal with a similar sore, but more red, in almost the same spot. I treated for 10 days with kanaplex and metro and it never got better throughout QT. Once he made it through QT, I added him to the DT and it cleared up on its own in a few weeks.

Red Growth on Regal Angel Chin

My Regal Angel has recently developed a red growth on its chin. I've had the regal for about 2 weeks, still in QT. Is it an abscess, tumor, or a bacterial infection? His behavior is normal, in fact he is eating more aggressively as of late.

WOW! that looks like the same EXACT thing. It looks like my fish lol. thank you for the note. Mine did have other lmypho but did clear up. I feel better now if it doesn't clear up that it stands a chance it will just go away on its own It is so weird that its the exact same spot and look. i will let everyone know how it goes thanks all

So to update you all in case you are interested! I believe it is exactly as @puffy127 said. Lympho. The red soreness that looked open threw me off. The antibiotics did not change it and when I put him in DT it is already significantly better after a week. Overall so far doing great and eating. He just needs to speed up a little to get his fair share of food despite being biggest in tank. Lol
