Fish scraped his head

[artistjenna]

Hi,
My scaleless fish scraped his head, likely while having a case of the midnight zoomies.
He looks ok but I want to get ahead of any infection. (he wont let me take a picture)
Tips?
Thank you

Can you give us more info? What type of fish, describe the wound if you can't get a pic. Other tank inhabitants. That sort of thing

A picture would be very helpful even if it’s not the best. It will help us see if it’s infected. But please answer the questions asked above. Make sure to keep you water extra clean

Update: The extra skin flap from the scrape fell off. I followed up with a round of Maracyn 2 and they're doing well. No signs of infection. His head is healed and he's back to his cucumber eating self. He is a SAE. Spent some time making sure there was no left over rough areas on any decor in their tank for extra precaution.
