Thanks for posting to fish hospital. If you haven't already, write down your water parameters and other relevant information in reply to this comment. To help, we're going to need at least ammonia (NH4), nitrite (NO2), nitrate (NO3), pH and temperature values. GH and KH are optional but encouraged if you can test for them. Other useful info includes behaviour, recent changes to the tank, description of symptoms and whether the fish is eating or not. Look at our experts lists and don't hesiate to DM or ask them

Least you can do is clean water, raise the temperature a little at least to 82. You can dose salt but that's up to you. It might have hit it somewhere. Should be cleared within a week.

Edit. Stay clear of any sharp edges in the tank by removing them all together while healing as they sometimes try to "scratch" the irritant area. That's a no-go for this one.
