    Approximately 2 days ago I noticed a round lesion begin to develop on the top portion of the Dog Face Puffer. Today, the lesion appears to have increased in size. I have noticed a change in his behavior today. He does eat, however, he seems more reserved than usual. I've attempted to research similar scenario's, however, all that I find under "light round spot skin disorder," is of course Cryptocaryon irritants. Any thoughts, insight or information on what this may be is greatly appreciated. An image is included below.
