What Type Of Parasite/worm?

[dpantale]

I have a goldfish that suffers from some sort of parasitic infection. The symptoms are a bump that appears near the head or dorsal fin and grows for several weeks and then finally bursts. It looks like there was a worm inside however it doesn't look like the usual Anchor worm photos I've seen and the growing bump doesn't match the symptoms I've read. My girlfriend said that a fish store person told her it was an Angle worm, but I'm not sure she heard that correctly since I haven't seen Angle worm discussed on the internet.
 
Does anyone have any ideas what this might be? I'm sorry but I don't have any photos.

Is it anything like this? http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/425611-holes-in-fish-cyst-thats-exploded/

I don't think so. The cyst/bump on my fish is not transparent, it's just a bump that keeps getting bigger. It's almost like a pimple, just before it bursts the top gets somewhat white.

Unfortunately I am at a complete loss
Is there no way at all that you can get a picture?
 
While you wait on someone who knows more about fish diseases to come along, perhaps we can figure out why it's happening? Are your water parameters good, tank cycled?

 

[dpantale]

Yes, water parameters are good. The fish was originally kept in an outdoor pool but has been separated into a plastic container where the water was regularly changed. We're now giving him/her a treatment of Prazipro. Hopefully that'll do the trick.

I certainly hope so!
Let us know how it goes
