Sorry can't see much from the picture. Can you describe the spot? Flat or raised? Color? Texture: cottony/fibrous/cauliflower or smooth?

I'll try to get a better picture today

It’s in the right place for Uronema marinum. If it has a brown redish hue, start treating immediately.

I have a swallow tail that had something similar... I am pretty sure it was from my yellow tang being a jerk. Now that she has settled in they are buds and everything has healed up great. I just made sure to feed extra nori and that seemed to help out. She is really a great fish!

i got better pictures it seems to be some sort of growth on the outside of the skin could this be lympho? or should i start treating with an antibiotic

Pic very fuzzy but appears to be post-injury
Assure it’s improving daily and not developing into something bacterial.
Also assure you have good water quality
