Bump on side of clownfish

[Ashley13]

My female clown developed a bump on her side where the black meets the middle white stripe. You can also see some sort of raised area in the middle white stripe. She is eating and acting normal but she has laid any eggs in almost 4 weeks and im wondering if tbjs new development on her side is the cause of it. Any ideas what it could be and how to treat her?

Appears to be sepsis or tumor but can also have eggs within.
How is ammonia-ph- nitrate and salinity?
Ruby rally may provide safeguard in case of infection but a gamble
Try feeding soft foods like mysis in case of constipation
A freshwater bath May also help using water same temperature as display tank for 5 minutes

Thanks! I know she is at least 7 years old but could be older and may having health problems now because of age but im not sure. All the levels are great, she's in a breeding tank and i try to keep the parameters pretty good in them. She's been eating omega pellet food for a while now and actually didn't eat good at lunch today so it may be constipation like you said. I have frozen brine shrimp and frozen marine cosine mix..is that fine?
