    I've never heard of parasites causing scale rot. Typically, scale rot is cause by poor environmental conditions. It usually presents as a rusty color and it may by accoumpanied by blisters. Here's a thread with some pictures.

    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
    Then you Stand
