It sounds like some kind of abscess. If the fish is in the correct conditions for neons there's not much you can do. Neons need soft water, less than 4dGH, slightly acid pH6.5 to 6.8, fairly warm around 78F to 80F, zero nitrite and zero ammonia. If your conditions are not what are required for Neons (As above) you will have no success keeping neons or other (Amazonian) fish that require those conditions.
