The infected areas do not look like HITH to me (it would look characteristically pitted).
It looks more like a parasite just under the skin. PraziPro or Paraguard may be effective. It looks eerily similar to a parasite a friend had some years ago. In his tank, it was contagious and eventually lethal.
