Its a tumor... Mine had one like that ana eventually died... the good thing though with your is it isn't near any vital organs... I know this sound grizzly but I would go to cvs pharmacy.. Get surgical blade.. and some disinfectant.. And take the fish out of the water and cut that thing off of him. People do this all the time actually


Then put him back in the water and medicate the tank heavily with antibiotics like triple sulfa and see if he recovers.. Its this.. or wait till he dies.. or cull him

My betta had a tumor just like that. He seemed fine, but it got so big and started to appear in other parts of his body, even his head. I knew it was hurting him so I put him down.
If your bettas tumor doesn't spread you could try removing it like candgmancan said.

45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal. female betta tanks
