sounds like a buried parasite. if you can get the fish out put in bowl of water and
squeeze to see if it is soft and you can pop it. then do topical treatment before
releasing it back into the pond.

Hi all - I have a white comet with what looks like a big zit on the bridge
of it's nose. There is just a tinge of red at the base and then a
protrusion approximately 1/8" in diameter not tall at all (1/16" or less?),
which looks like a puberty pus sack. I believe it was 'drying' out at one
point but has now returned and is growing although slowly. Sorry I don't
have a place to post a pic if I could get one. Water is good - numerous
other fish with no similar traits.

Any thoughts about what this is and should I be doing something about it?
This fish is about 5-6 inches long, so maybe it is a puberty zit heh?
Thanxx
