It looks like your Oscar might be suffering from Columnaris, a very bad bacterial infection.
It's very difficult to cure. Several have mentioned combinations of antibiotics to treat the disease. Others have suggested salt treatments. I don't remember the exact salt dosage.
Columnaris doesn't exist in salt water.
Fortunately I've had very few fish contract Columnaris over the years. I wasnt able to cure any.
IMO, it's best to remove the infected fish and try to save the tankmates.
