Potters angel needled

I have a potters angel currently in QT that i believe was needled. She is eating ok not a lot but still happy to see her picking at NLS pellets. I can see on her one side that she has what looks to be like raise white mark right in the area where they needle fish. Is this just a raised scale? I saw this when i first bought the fish and it went away a day or two later in my tank. I just noticed it is back again last night. I have had this fish about two weeks. Only thing i treaded with so far was prazipro. Should i does some form of antibiotics or will she heal on her own.
 
I assume you mean the pressure relief (or whatever) needle that is used with deep water fish. I THINK these fish are found at many depths and may all not be "needled". Unless the fish is really stressed or the spots is infected, I sure wouldn't loose any sleep over it. IMO, antibiotics are as overused on fish even more than on people. I'm not anti-drug at all, but I'd have some serious evidence that there is a bacterial infection before doing anything.
