Hello and welcome!

Could those be anchor worms?

Looks like carp pox to me.

 

[badgworth]

Thanks for both replies, this is the other side of the fish, what would you recommend as a treatment.

 

[WaterGardener]

From that picture, it doesn't look like carp pox. That looks pretty bad. Ammonia burns and infection maybe?

The best place to get help with this, in my opinion, would be koiphen.com. Someone there can probably tell you what this is and how to deal with this.

Looks like a fungal infection to me

Last spring I noticed something similar on one of my fish (the fish on the right in the picture below). I am no expert on fish disease, but it looked like it had scraped itself and algae was growing on the wound. All the other fish looked fine. I decided to make sure the water quality stayed good and just keep an eye on the fish. After a few months the wound healed on it's own.

I think this might help:

Saprolegnia (or SAP) is a Freshwater Fungus of Pond and Aquarium Fish – Dr Erik Johnson – Veterinarian

Yes, @WaterGardener , I too believe it's SAP.
