Dwarf gourami 'pimple'

My neon blue dwarf gourami has had a swollen lump on his jaw for a few weeks now. It now looks like it's coming to a head, like a pimple. I don't think it's a parasite or fungus. Any thoughts? ???

65 gallon, moderately planted, nitrogen cycle is 0/0/5-10 ppm. pH 7.6-7.8, temp 76-78, dKH 7, phosphate 0.25,

Tank mates: small julI Cory school, EBR, cockatoo dwarf cichlid, neon and Glowlight tetra school, a bristlenose pleco and some ghost shrimp,

Thanks coradee.

DoubleDutch; I assume that means there is nothing I can do, and just let it play out on its own? At the moment at least, he is eating and otherwise acting normally.

Correct. The normal way of acting could be another sign of a tumour I'd say.
