i do believe that is called hole-in-the-head disease, which can also occur on the face...
but i have no idea how to cure it, so you should research it.

I would get a master test kit and check your parameters ASAP. HITH can often be attributed to poor water quality.

I agree. Sounds like you have Hole in head. Get a test kit fast.

As for the stocking IMO I think you may be a bit to stocked, or not enough filtration. IMO I would do a immediate 50% water change and keep it up ever few days.
