Hey, I just noticed a strange growth between the scales of one of my harlequin rasboras.

(Sorry for poor quality)
It looks like a scale has popped off and the stuff under has swollen up.
I was just about to dose the tank with api general cure (metrodizanole+praziquantel) when i noticed the growth. I was going to use it because I had seen lots of endlers flashing.
I have a uv steriliser installed.
Parameters
Ammonia-0
Nitrite-0
Nitrate-5
Ph 7.0
30-40% water changes once a week.
Stock
6 black neon tetras
2 harlequin rasboras
4 hangels rasboras
15 sterbai coryd
1 bristlenose
50-70 endlers ranging from newborn-adult
I know that the stocking is horrible. I have been unable to patch up the holes in my schools and the endlers weren't meant to be in there in the first place. This is why.
After a month of quarantine i was almost ready to move the endlers. About a day before I was going to sell my guppies to make room for the endlers i found out that the guppies had camallanus worms. I had to take down my quarantine in a few days because of space issues so I ended up putting them in my 40g.
That was seven months ago. I have tried 4 different treatments and have made almost zero progress with killing the worms.
Recently all of the original 5 female endlers have become wasted starting with a drooping tail then a sunken belly and finally death. Only 3 are still alive.
Back to where I am now and i don't know what to do, whats this thing between the harlequin's scale? Sorry for the amount of text. Please help!image
EDIT: Just noticed what looks like another one about to pop up on a female endler.
