Greenish yellow patch on my new oranda's cap?

[Phoeberanda 0]

It looks like it came from below the surface of the cap/wen and I guess, it sprouted out? It's feels kind of rough and I've tried rubbing it off gently and it did remove some patch from the surface, but I dont wanna try and go deeper, I don't wanna hurt him lol it's fairly small, like a dot from a marker, but you can still see it. It's only located on that area of his whole body, everything else looks healthy I have pictures but I don't see an upload attachment option anywhere here

Yes, welcome! We are happy to help but need the information Shakaho posted above. Pictures on Flickr or photobucket and linked here are also going to be necessary - this sounds funky!
