Not sure if my female LF has knocked her fin, and now has a small tumour like growth on it about the size of a match head and is red / brown colour.

Any ideas or how to treat it would be good. She is otherwise good and healthy and is still very active and looking like getting ready to spawn.

Any chance of a pic for a better diagnosis? It may be lymphocystis but need a pic to be sure.
