Ick is usually white spots that appear on the tail and fins. They aren't raised unless the fish has a pretty bad case.
Ick is actually a parasite that can get out of hand when the fish is somehow stressed. Frequent moves from tank to tank, or too much ammonia/nitrate in the water will do this.
I've had good success with a product called Maricide. The spots will disappear after 2-3 days but use it for the full 10.

White specks (looks like salt) all over it. If that's what you have, then you have ick. There are several ways to remedy it but the problem is the cysts often drop off of the fish and lie dormant in gravel etc. for some time so curing the fish once isn't always enough.
