Male Pea Puffer with Cyst on Face?

I have a 20 gallon tank with 6 pea puffers. 3 male, 3 female. Ive had them for almost a year now. I noticed about a week ago that one of my male pea puffers has a cyst like bump on his face. The bump is all white, no red on it. He seems to be acting a little bit off, a bit less active than normal. He is still super bright and colourful. I think it may have gotten slightly bigger over the last few days. Any ideas on what's going on or how I can help him? Do I need to take him out and isolate him?
