Can you get a picture?

I can't tell you what's wrong, but to help the fish you should do extra water changes (25% daily wouldn't be bad), feed a good quality protein food, and maybe add some NovAqua+ to help the fish heal. It might just recover on its own. Watch carefully for swelling, pus, redness... all signs of bacterial infection. Frequent water changes can prevent infection.
