growth on fishes lip area please id

[pugmommie]

Can someone please give me an id on my clownfishes lip. I know the photo's aren't the best. I have been treating for ich with hypo for the past week and thought this might be part of the ich, but it seems to be getting worse not better. The best way I can describe it is it looks like a growth of warts. It is an raised area and is red under some of it. Also how would I treat this? Do I have to finish with hypo before I can treat him with anything else?

Anyone? And does the first picture look like ich or could it be velvet. I haven't used any medications yet. Just doing hypo.

I think this may be Lymphocystis on his lip. It is puffy like a piece of Cauliflower. My other clown also have some white on the back fin. Any opinions. They are in qt so hopefully when they are done getting treated for ich this will have cleared up.
Can they go back in the display tank if they are the only fish after the ich is gone? That is, if they still have the lymphocystic.

I'm not sure what it is but a couple of my clownfish have had it and it went away...

Multiple problems at the same time are not totally unknown. I can't see the chin lesion well enough to say if it is Lymphocystis or not - but the is another infection going on, either Brookynella or "old growth" Cryptocaryon. If the former, you should check the sticky at the top of this forum.
