Problem with balloon red eye tetras

[Jbrock]

Two of my tetras seem to have some sort of wound but I have no idea what it is. One of them got this injury looking malady on its side a few weeks ago and then one week ago another got a similar looking injury on the bottom mouth.

My stock is 20 gal high:
5 balloon red eyed tetras
3 peppered corys
1 emerald Cory
1 bristle nose pleco
1 cobra endler guppy

Can it be the beginning of Popeye?

Lol. It's the only answer. And I am not a wealth of fish knowledge either so that would be my guess if they were my fish and then I would google what to do and then try and do it without killing it lol. But I defineatly would separate them if you haven't already.
