The picture quality isn't that great so I can't see if there is anything wrong.
Can you list the water pramaters?
Size of tank?
How long as it been established?
How many tank mates and what kinds of mates?    (you might have said these in another post but I can't remember and it's 
                                                                                   always good form just to put this information on any tropical fish emergency post)
 
What specficly is the damage to the fish? (since I can't tell from the photos)
Is the fish acting an different? Lethargic or hiding or anything like that?
Is there an visible aggression amongst the fish?  
 
10 gallon
It has been tuning for 2 years
2 Molly's
1 female sword
His skin is all messed up on one side
And he has a big wight bump on his side

Dang :( Sorry about that :( 
Was it an actually worm or a parasite? Depending on what it is will call for different treatments. Does any of these sound like what you saw come out of the fish? http://www.thepetcard.net/panews/110108newsletter/11012008Article4.html
If not try and do a google search and find exactly what was in your tank. Since I am not well informed in the area of medicines and even parasites I am going to contact another member of the forum who is usually very knowledgable in these areas. My fear is that the tank could be infested with something so you'd want to get that taken care of as soon as possible as not to have the other fish infected.
 
Ok thanks I will look around I think he allready I had it in hem because I had only had him for one day
The only one it sounded like was the anchor worm but still I don't think that's was it was
 
You'll still want to research this and probably treat your tank in the case that it might spread.
 
Poor thing. R.I.P.
 
Where was the worm. What colour was it. Did the worm have a Y shaped tail?
