Bea, could you please add more details by answering the questions below? Also, those photos are okay but much bigger ones would have been better so we could see closely what it is.

1. What is the size of your tank?

2. What are your water parameters? State the brand of test kit used.

3. Is your aquarium set up freshwater or brackish water?

4. How long the aquarium has been set up?

5. What fish do you have? How many are in your tank? How big are they? How long have you had them?

6. Were the fish placed under quarantine period (minus the first batch from the point wherein the tank is ready to accommodate the inhabitants)?

7. What temperature is the tank water currently?

8. Are there live plants in the aquarium?

9. What filter are you using? State brand, maintenance routine and power capacity.

10. Any other equipment used (aside from heater and filter which are two very important components of the tank)?

11. Does your aquarium receive natural sunlight at any given part of the day? What is your lighting schedule (assuming you do not rely on sunlight for our viewing pleasure)?

12. When did you perform your last water change and how much water was changed? How often do you change your water? Do you vacuum the substrate?

13. What foods do you provide your fish? What is the feeding schedule?

14. What unusual signs have you observed in your fish?

15. Have you treated your fish ahead of diagnosis? If so, what treatments did you use? State your reasons for planning ahead of proper diagnosis.

Hard to say without seeing it more clearly. It could be an injury, infection (still possible even with good parameters), tumor, etc.

That doesn't look like tumor to me. I am thinking fungal or bacterial infection but I have trouble accurately identifying the exact issue. Do you have kanamycin or tetracycline with you just in case it spreads? For now, try using iodine solution by applying it on the patch directly with a Q-tip. Be careful not to let in contact the iodine solution to its eyes and gills. If it spreads, it may easily be bacterial infection in which case you can use kanamycin or tetracycline to battle the issue.
