Welcome aboard

Just isolate the injured Koi until it heals. Keep water in pristine condition add a little salt 1 tsp to a gallon.

Aquarium salt or epsom?

Should I treat her with anything like melafix?

You could if you like but don't add anymore meds.

You can use any non iodine salt but not Epsom Salt. Epsom Salt is more like a laxative for fish with Bloat.

Oh dear. That might need an antibiotic, and that’s out of my area of knowledge.

Keep salt in the tank and I’d cover that sore with bio bandage if you can order some. Keep the water as clean as possible and hopefully it will show improvement in a few days.
