Looks like a fungal infection to me, but I'm not positive.

If it is Fungal, you can use Pimafix. I'm not positive though. Anyone else think it's fungal? Does it look like cotton?

I would just keep an eye on it it may just be a wound or something. Keep water pristine and add a little melafix.
I agree with paul. It looks like a little ulcer or wound or something. For now, keep nitrates below 20, maybe add some melafxi...see if it improves over the next few days...if anything starts getting worse...you would have to consider medication...I would lead towards and anti-bacterial agent myself.
It looks like an infected wound to me. I agree with akapaul. Water changes and Melafix are what you need.
