Hello again, I wrote earlier today about the worms crawling into my Oscars hole in the head, how can I help him?

< Clean water good food and treating with Metronidazole and Nitrofurazone should help.> I think that the filthy tank that I rescued him from is finally taking its toll. Along with the hole in the head (along with its infestation of worms) he is getting these round like grey areas around his head and face, I thought that they were bruises from thrashing around the tank, by the way he graduated to a 75 gallon today, not to change the subject, I noticed that the lesions were actually raised from his skin and the seem to grow bigger then go away, I am starting to believe that the itching problem along with begging the CAE to suck on him may be a fungus of some sort. In a way it looks like a form of ringworm if a fish could get that. Also the CAE dorsal fin has almost completely disintegrated to nothing. He has the red lines in the fins. I believe that he may have to go the fishy freezer before he gives the poor Oscar something else. Help please < The recommended treatments should help all
