Potential infection on Black Axil Chromis

So I ordered some fish from Live Aquaria, which arrived last Saturday. My black axil chromis has had a small bruise like blemish near the front of his body. Its only on his right side, and its hard to say whether its getting bigger or darker in color. He swims all day and has a voracious appetite. Took forever for him to figure out what was food, but now he is the vacuum. I do notice that his top fin seems to be clamped most of the time (refer to first image). I was hoping that his immune system would take care of this, but just want to know if this potential disease is recognized by anyone. I plan on buying some New Life Spectrum Powder Ick-Shield Bath Food from Amazon, and maybe some Flagyl or other antibiotic. Any suggestion is appreciated.

Could be ammonia poisoning. Could be lymphocystis. Isolate the fish and just keep him in good water conditions until it goes one way or the other.
