Continuously. Neither Have Feeding Problems.

Kirst,

Check your water conditions. Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate and PH
Also how big is your tank?

Does the growths look like this?

Lumpy growths are usually viral and resolve with time. The very large
growth could also be caused by lymphocystis virus.

The eye problem is likely eye fungus. An antibacterial will not be as
helpful as a proprietary eye fungus treatment or malachite green.

I don't think your relative was taking very good care of the fish. :-(
