Hard to tell but definitely looks like it. Or could be a scar from another fish? If more than one fish in the tank has it I would get treatment quick

Ich looks like salt or sugar sprinkles on the fish. That looks too big if it`s that white spot. I would check out fungal problems.

+1 ,ship it to me before you flush it...Almost every fish disease is treatable ...the first step is to identify what it is..
EDIT: this is just something i threw out there ,,could be anything

Fortunately this disease is not all that bad,..Usually just a result of poor water and nutrition ...i would start off with a water check ,then some vitamins..Don't use any meds for this disease ,,they are not needed ,,again we need to verify what exactly it is first ..
