oscar has white lesions on head

Question
I have a 55 gallon tank that I keep well maintained. The tank has 2 oscars, 2 other orange cichlids, and a plecco. I have 2 black and orange oscars (I forget their proper name)
pictured here http://www.flower-horn.de/oscar_tank.html the smaller of the two has a white lesion above its eyes and one or 2 by its mouth. yesterday there was only the spot above it's eyes, today I noticed the other ones.
They look like lesions, not round, but oblong, white, and like they go down under or into the scales. What is this and how do I treat it? how much time do I have?

Thanks

Answer
Hi Kirk,
 It sounds like they have been fighting.  If they are small bite marks on the face, this is perfectly normal for cichlids and they will heal quickly.  

 If you can send me a photo, I can take a closer look.
