Some problems with my Panda Corys (whom I've had for many months):

One (the smallest of the 3) has been very inactive for the past 2 days. I think he still eats, but barely moves at all. He is much paler in color than the other 2 as well.

Another of the 3 has developed a white spot on his head, right below his right eye. It does not look like cottony fungus... it is more like a minor sore or lesion. I also see him doing this weird twitch near the substrate, as if he is scratching himself. I've seen one of my Albinos do this as well, so I'm not sure if it is just normal behavior. I'm worried that the sore could be Gill/Skin Flukes, which would not be good at all.

The other fish in my tank are acting normal (including the third Panda Cory).

Please help me figure out these two cases!
 
Here is the spot, someone in the General Freshwater section said it was just a scrape. Any ideas about the first one?

One of my cories is having the same sort of problem, on his nose. Not cottony, like you said- a sore. I should send a picture of mine. It eats well and the other cories act fine. I hope you get an answer
