I can remember years ago when I was a teenager our fish got a sore on it's eye. My mum went to the pet shop and they gave her drops for the water. It worked!

You could take it to a petshop to see if they can identify the cause.most skin infections can be cleared up using a mix of formalin & green malachite.ive used tetra medifin to treat my koi's parasites.fish get infected this time of year as its warming up but the fishes immune system is weak after the winter.like i said though, your best takin it to petshop maybe andy's aquatics in newferry.they might point u in the right direction & have the correct treatment.

Hope it goes well.

Jeeze how long has it looked like that? Go and get medication from Aquatic shop for mouth rot/fungus,do a water change before you add medication.

You may be able to make it better, it all depends how long its been ill!
