I'm really sorry your tetra is hurt.
Any idea how it happened?
It sounds like it's infected. If you haven't already, he should be put in a Q tank so he doesn't picked on and you can treat him and not medicating the rest of the fish unnecessary.

Keep his water pristine. Rid Fungus or Fungus Eliminator are good fungus medications.

Good luck, I hope he recovers quickly.
