I have a Kenyi that has a large piece of skin taken off his forehead. The area has grown larger and larger. It looks like there are burn marks on the edges of the missing skin. I don't know if he is maybe running into my heater at night while its on or possibly some kind of necrotic disease or something else even. I'll attach some pictures, my camera is a little slow so the pictures aren't the greatest, but you should be able to zoom in for a better look.

Looks like he hurt himself. Melafix with a touch of aquarium salt should help, and clean water will keep it from getting infected.
 
Ok, I'll give that a try. I have to do 50% water changes each week since I have 10 ppm of Nitrate in my water.
