Are you talking about dropsy ? The body swells up and the scale stick out like a pinecone.

Re: What is that disease.....
Unless by "under the gills" you mean the area behind the ventrals??? Then you may be looking at something like constipation if you say the whole fish isn't bloated. Feed it a cooked, deshelled pea or don't feed at all for a couple of days.
However, if you are really talking about the gills itself, I never heard anything either that would affect just bettas. There's a number of parasites that can irritate the gills or bad water conditions (9 times out of 10), but neither is just betta specific, any ol fish can get that.
