White bump on fish

My Percula clown that I have had for about 3 years now has a small white bump near it's top dorsal fin. What is it and how can I treat it? I do weekly water changes, and have never had this problem before.

Thanks

These images are not the greatest since he loves to swim frantically along the front glass.

Chase,

Is the white bump raised skin? That is, does it look like something under the skin? Or, is it something on the skin such as a parasite? Have a close look and see if it moves around at all, has what appears to be segments/appendages, or parts that temporarily raise up. Almost looks like a parasitic copepod or isopod! Could very well be something else, the pictures are very difficult to make out. Best to have a long close look and provide a description with as much detail as possible.
