Betta with large white spots on head

[Ghostly]

Just wanted to let everyone know that he is moving into a proper tank in a few days (will be making a thread about his new tank!) We moved recently so I had to keep him in a jar for the last few months (poor guy). Also different subject but around December he was hardly able to swim and it looked like his spine was broken or something it was like that for around 2 months and I literally woke up one morning and he was normal. I had given him a few Epson salt baths but otherwise I did nothing special. He is now practically normal any idea what that was about?

Tank
What is the water volume of the tank? Jar
How long has the tank been running?
Does it have a filter?
Does it have a heater?
What is the water temperature? 75-80
What is the entire stocking of this tank? (Please list all fish and inverts.) I make betta fish

Maintenance
How often do you change the water? Every 2 days
How much of the water do you change? 100%
What do you use to treat your water? Seachem prime
Do you vacuum the substrate or just the water?

*Parameters - Very Important
Did you cycle your tank before adding fish?
What do you use to test the water?
What are your parameters? We need to know the exact numbers, not just “fine” or “safe”.
Ammonia: 0.25ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate:0ppm
pH: somewhere between 6.0 and 7.2

Feeding
How often do you feed your fish? Daily
How much do you feed your fish? Pinch
What brand of food do you feed your fish? Mainly bug bite pellets
Do you feed frozen? Yes, brine shrimp and blood worms
Do you feed freeze-dried foods? Freeze dried blood worm every once in a while.

Illness & Symptoms
How long have you had this fish? A year or two
How long ago did you first notice these symptoms? I am not 100% sure but for as long as I can remember
In a few words, can you explain the symptoms? Large white patches on the head. No fuzz and definitely not ick
Have you started any treatment for the illness? Aquarium salt although that was almost a year ago.
Was your fish physically ill or injured upon purchase? Again I really don’t know for sure but I am leaning towards saying he didn’t have them.
How has its behavior and appearance changed, if at all? Not other then those patches.

Explain your emergency situation in detail.
(Please give a clear explanation of what is going on, include details from the beginning of the illness leading up to now)
Not to much to say but mainly I treated heavily with aquarium salt for a week or so about a year ago and they may have shrunk a little but at that point we were getting ready to move so I hadn’t been able to look into this further. He shows absolutely no sign of sickness in behaviour though just feel bad cause he is cooped up in that little jar.

Thanks!

My wifes platies seem to sometimes take turns on the spinal thing, then i look again a couple days later, nothing! She doesn't say anything either so either feels it isn't important or never notices, whichbi doubt as she spots ick from halfway across the house!

Is that spot fungal? Kind of looks like it could be.

I thought maybe but wouldn’t the salt have killed it off?

Not sure how effective salt is on fungus.

I’ll give him a week on aquarium salt and plenty of water changes and if I am not seeing improvements by then I’ll pick something up.
