I would dilute some raw unpasteurized honey with some luke warm water and use a qtip to dab it on that area for several days, and keep an eye on it.

Hello,

That looks like it could be a little fungal issue but not sure. As suggested, you can try the raw honey on
the area to help out in case it might be fungal. Hopefully it's just some retained shed that will gradually
shed off.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
