Why does my aquarium fish have a hole in his head
Do water changes every week, and mix up their diet. That is the only way to really treat this disease, and it takes some time to heal.
Good luck!

Environment
The environment of a fish is very important for the health of the fish, this can be either the water quality, or in fact the stress caused by conditions (tank size, tank mates, decor, etc.) if the quality of water is not good then the fish are likely to get any number of diseases, HITH is commonly associated with long periods of poor water quality, it could also be caused by stress.
Diet
It is important to give your fishes a good diet filled with nutrients, just like it is important for people, without a good balanced diet fish can become seriously ill. HITH is commonly associated with a lack of calcium, phosphorous, and vitamins C & D, fortunately many good quality fish foods are jam packed with extra vitamins.
The carbon theory
It has never been proven, but there is much evidence supporting this idea - it is thought that carbon can be a cause of HITH, there are reports of people adding carbon to a tank and the the HITH disease developing, and then when the carbon is removed the HITH heals up.
