Just been doing water change and noticed my male dwarf gourami has a lump on the side of his mouth. It looks like a pussy zit. He is eating and acting normally and the water stats are fine. Any advice. I added extra stress coat with the water change to help it heal.
 
What's the tank temp? How big is it, and what else is in there? A close up photo would be great, because fortunately I've never had zits on my- okay, TMI?
 
Its on the side of his mouth. He look fine yesterday and looks happy enough, is eating and not looking stressed.

Tank size: 48l
pH: 7
ammonia: 0
nitrite: 0
nitrate: 20
tank temp: 26

Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): look like a white pussy zit, with little bit of red soreness on one side of it, it is on the side of his mouth. Otherwise he is behaving normally, eating, swimming around etc

Chemical Additives or Media in your tank: Just stresscoat when doing water change. Added extra for this mornings water change to help healing.
