I have a platy fish with large growths on the head. It started as scales lifting up and now she has tumor like bumps on her head. I have tried parasite medicines, bacterial medicines, fungus medicines and nothing seems to work. I've even showed pictures to many aquariums stores and no one knows whats wrong with her.
The strange thing is she is acting normal.

I would guess a tumor or lymphocysts. Treating without knowing the problem may just make things worse and could well cause additional damage to the fish as many medications are poisons used at sub-lethal doses.

Try to get a better photo and in the mean time, give us an idea of your tank - ammonia, nitrite, nitrate levels, size, temperature, stock, new additions, ph, hardness, etc
 
Welcome to the forum Jenaye82. I have no idea what this picture is showing. Have you tried posting it in tropical emergencies? It will get better and faster answers there.
