Tumor?

[mommyof2bettas]

My betta Kenni has had white growth since I got him. I posted somewhere, but I couldn't get a straight answer to what it could be. There were no other symptoms, he was acting normally, and it wasn't growing. I treated with some aquarium salt and Melafix anyways. He seemed weird the next day, so I stopped medicating and everything was ok. That was a month or so ago. Yesterday I noticed it had grown. He is blue, so it wasnt raised scales. It seems a little lumpy, and I posted somewhere else, someone suggested a tumor, and gave me this info:

Tumors or viral infections such as;
1) 'carp pox', which resembles melted wax poured over the fins or skin

2) papillomas, 'warty' types of growths, can be quite large, smooth or cauliflower-shaped, white, red or pink

3) lymphocystis, various sized, white to pink masses on the skin and/or gills.
There are no certain and specific treatments for these growths. They are usually benign and often self-resolving. Check fish for possible other symptoms. Add 1/2 tsp. seasalt/gal, or treat with commercial products (antibiotics & sulfa drugs)
There is always the risk of secondary bacterial infection. Although raising salinity may help, a wide range medication, such as Maracyn-Two from Mardel Labs capsules at PETsMART may prove helpful.

And I think it may be the papilloma. It's about the size of an O a little bigger maybe, and it's under his dorsal fin. I don't want to lose him, since he was my first fish and he is my faveorite out of all of mine. I added some aquarium salt yesterday, and he was little less active today, and I'm guessing that's what caused it. He's eating normally, and unlike this morning, he's back to his normal self.

Please Help

Does it look like a cauliflower.
Is it hard or soft like filled with puss.

Look under tumours.

it looks a little lumpy, but not as much as a cauliflower, I haven't touched it so I'm not sure if it's hard or soft. I can't believe I might lose him

EDIT- it looks like the second pic on the second link, although the pic is blurry

I would issolate the fish and try antibiotic.
Good luck.
