Injury or fungal?

So for about 2 months my man here has had a discolored patch just above his black lateral stripe. It used to be a lot whiter. When I noticed it I put him in a 10 gallon and dosed the water with Paraguard for a few weeks but nothing really changed. Since then it got less white and seems to be "healing" but now I'm noticing tiny white spots on his face when zooming in. Is this just natural pores? None of the other fish in the community tank are showing similar signs.

Before noticing this he was in a separate tank breeding with a female who became pretty nippy before I removed him to let her raise the fry on her own, which is why I'm wondering if its an injury, but the white spots on the face have me worried.
