Bump on fishes head (getting bigger)

[Andrew]

One of my goldfish has developed a lump on the top of his head, which has
got steadily bigger over the last couple of months. I've put some pics on
the web here - http://www.ardwebdesign.co.uk/site/personal/fish/elmo.htm ,
although some are a bit blurred you can still see the bump.

In the last couple of days (these photos are a couple of weeks old) a sort
of clear bubble has developed at the top of the spot (looks a bit like a
blister).

Does anyone have any ideas what this growth could be?

Thanks

Andrew

I've got home from work today and the "blister" seems to have burst, leaving
an exposed wound. Should I fear the worst for Elmo? I can post up to date
pics if they are any help to anyone.

Thanks

Andrew,

Keep water really clean and try getting some melafix.
