Just noticed this on one of my tetras today. Any idea what it is and how Iā€™d treat it?

Looks like an ulcer,. usually from poor water quality. What are your water parameters?
 
I change out 15 gallons weekly in a 36 gallon tank. Here are the current water parameters

It looks like Mycobacteriosis. If it is, it is untreatable, fatal and it spreads if left until the fish dies.
