Potential disease on Puffer

[Palmer]

I have an Amazon Puffer tank that is 60 gallons with 7 of them and 6 peppered corydoaras. Non of the other fish are experience any kinds of sickness. They are all eating really well still. This puffer however when I was checking on them prior to bed had this spot which was kind of white and it is not greyish since this morning. I put ich-x in the water last night just incase. As far at the water parameters go. 
ammonia - 0ppm

nitrite - 0ppm

nitrates - 25 ppm

hardness - 150 ppm

buffer - 120 ppm

ph - 7.2

chlorine - 0 ppm

water temp is 80 degrees. 
 

Any help is greatly appreciated! Just want to keep my Amazon puffers healthy!

Do the spots have a fuzzy appearance to them it's difficult to tell of your picture is it just the one spot in the second picture it looks like it has three spots @Palmer

Thanks @Fish Folk  

@Palmer I have not kept amazons but i always observe for behavioral changes to guage treatments.  Could that it be a scrape or superficial skin tag type deal? 

 Ive never had a puffer injury not heal in my tanks. I have also treated with the med trio in qt and each individually when needed they all work well on puffers here. 

Three skin issues over the years

This was a ' lady and the tramp" type moment where two mouths ran into each other a few months ago.it is fully healed since

 

2 years ago I had a hairy with this. It was like an abceas which eventually cleared  without  treatmwnt

This wild caught spotted congo showed up missing most of a fin. It grew back 

 

Puffers are tough that helps.

In the second pic that was food to get him to turn around to see that side. So the brown in the front and back is food.

Behavioral changes seem to be the key here ... ive seen puffers come back from some really wild stuff over the years
