the first pic is about a month after i got him, and the next today. i’ve circled the spots that look concerning to me. his water parameters are good, however when i cleaned the objects in his tank today; it seemed like there was some paint coming off 😭 im a worried betta mother. i removed those objects and replaced with natural driftwood which i boiled for ten minutes. and he is seeming happy in his new environment. if this is mild fin rot; what should i do?

Erythromycin, kanamycin, or chloramphenicol for antibacterial. If they develop fungus methylene blue. Can also use aquarium salt if that’s more on hand. Some people argue a lot of medications with “fix” on them have oils that can cling to their gills potentially. So if you can’t find any antibiotics I listed, don’t go for the ones with tree/leaf oils.
Just put salt in the water, and it will get healthy. Don’t treat the water with any chemical or any thing. Betta don’t like that.
