Is my jewel damsel injured?

My damsel had a while area on his forehead that seems to be getting bigger. It's hard to see in this picture, I'll try to get a better shot, but it looks almost as if he's scratched it against some rock? He's eating fine. Worried it's getting bigger though.

Are there any aggressive tank mates? If not, could be from swimming into a rock

No, 2 banggai Cardinals and a fire fish. He's probably the most aggressive of all of them

Update, so I removed the carbon that I got from Amazon.com and the white spot appears to be going away. Literally, 2 days after I removed the carbon, the white spot is all but gone. Not sure what the carbon introduced, or removed that caused this? Any thoughts?

Carbon may not be a good thing with this fish. Other species may have difficulty with it. Or it could be coincidence, but I wouldn't risk it.
