not sure, search online for pics.
Melafix would be good for body sores.

Hate to be fly in the ointment but Melafix is totally useless.
It only cures things that the fish would heva rid itself of anyway. Its only tea tree oil.
It might be just a bite mark or a scratch. What are your water parameters. There is anti ulcer available out there. Its mainly sold for ponds but can be used in tropical tanks.

Wate is perfect. Add some salt to the water too. Moloys ar brackish fish and can live in full strength sea water. I would say its an injury. If it grows let us know. Hopefully it will clear itself up. Ulcers can be cancerous. Hopefully its an injury.

still recon it was an injury or bite as opposed to external parasite. Fish with blisters can live for months.
