GSP Skin Color Anomaly?

I have discovered one of my GSP's has a pea sized color anomaly on the top of his back. It is a purple to white color when he moves into direct light almost as if his skin got bleached but not any kind of indication of injury such as an open wound. His overall behavior is normal but he does hide a lot and is a bit skittish. He is also the smaller puffer. I have added a little dose of Melafix to the water as a precaution but should I be concerned?

Sorry for the low resolution. It was taken from my phone.

Could you post it to fb and then post a link of it on here?

Or you could email them to me and I can post them for you.

Doesn't look to bad, (looked at the fb TPF pic) probably will heal self. QT tank and dose with melafix for the wound and 1 tbsp/5g
