Bubble and blood spot on clownfish?

I had an issue about a month ago with misreading salinity briefly (refractometer issue) and had a clownfish subjected to very high salinity for about a week or two. After normalizing levels, the clown developed a big bubble on its chin. It would get big, then pop and lead to a bloody chin. This has happen 2 or 3 times since. Maybe it's Unrelated? In any event, it looks pretty bad. The other fish (added after salinity was fixed) are all doing good. Eating great and look great, inverts doing well also. Curious everyone's thoughts?

bump, any thoughts? Curious if there's anything I can do to help this fish's chances? Or just wait and see?
 
This could be one of those 'fungal' infections (actually rather bacterial or some form of parasitic 'algae'). I've had those before with clownfish and it usually didn't end well.
Antibiotics may be worth a try.

So an update, Friday the clown looked awful. Felt bad for it and thought there was no shot it oils make the day. Over the last few days, he's actually turned a corner and looks like he may be on the mend.
