Default Large Red sore on Koi

treat for parasites first. start by checking water quality and add some salt 0.9lb
per 100 gallons.
melafix is not going to fix the problem.

I have a large blue koi that has a big red sore near his tail, there is another
small
one under his eye. I have been using Medicarp medicated food and Melafix liquid
that I've put in so far for 5 days, they say do it for 7. You can also use it
longer if you have to.
The fish seems fine, it is eating and swimming around, anyone ever have
anything like this?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
