Help identify and treat issue with copper banded butterfly

[CaptainHook]

Hi,

I purchased this fish over the weekend. It is in a quarantine tank actively eating pods and frozen mysis. Today I noticed 2 bumps. The fish is about 2.5" and the smaller bump on the top is about 1/16". Can someone help me identify what the issue is and recommend a treatment method? Thanks.

This looks like a couple of nicks or damage from netting at time of purchase or objects in the tank. It should subside but if it becomes raw or infected, please say something. Just in case, perhaps grab a vial of Seachem Kanaplex or Neoplex to have on hand.

Thank you. I will keep an eye on it. Hopefully, it won't get any worse. I do have Kanaplex and Neoplex (assuming they don't expire). Do you recommend proactively treating it?
