a weird bump on my fish?

I saw this on my betta some time ago

http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m394/Poseidon_S...

Its only on the left side of the fish. He also started hiding and not eating much. Was wondering whats wrong with him. I do 20% water changed weekly, hes in a 40l tank with 3 pepper corys. Temp at 26C

Update:

edit: I avoid handling the fish as much as possible. But I had to hold itt for a few seconds just to take this picture. No ideas what can it be?

    Are you holding the poor fish? That is only gonna stress it and make things worse. A photo of it swimming around would be just fine. I have never seen anything like that. If it continues to grow it is best to put it out of its misery. It most likely is causing pain and discomfort.
