Looks like either post injury or lymphocystis but im thinking post injury. Simply keep an eye on it. Should it develop into a bacterial issue, treatment would be either maracyn 2 or seachem neoplex in a separate quarantine setting

On your test results, I assume youre using API test kits ?

Welcome to R2R. Hope the damsel improved. I have one of those in my tank. It’s the only fish that attacks me when my hands are in tank :). Lots of knowledgeable and helpful people here who will support and advise you when needed.
