It sounds like you actually have two things going on in the tank. One is the cottony fungus and the other is a bacterial infection called Furunculosis. The bacterial infection is causing the bumps that later rupture and the fungus is a secondary infection brought on by the damage and the weakened immune system of the fish.
I would suggest treating the fuish with Furanace, Furan-2 or Furazolidone Powder. All of these contain a very similar active ingredient which is a powerful antibiotic well known for treating this type of infection.
You can continue the fungus treatment while treating for the bacterial problem, the two medications will work together.
Just treat as directed on the package and the lesions should clear up and beging to heal even before the treatment is complete. Don't take that as a sign to stop the treatment though, do complete the entire course of antibiotics.
If I can help further feel free to email me.

the poor fish, carry on putting the fungus stuff on and go to a fish shop and ask about it, I'm not to sure whether a vet is a bit drastic, try researching it on forums, i hope it gets better

hi, First, i might ask your self relating to the water high quality. i might initiate with a water substitute - in line with danger 25%. once you're putting food in there and that they are no longer eating, the water is probably getting undesirable, which will cause them to worse. Are they new fish? Do they seem unwell, in any different case? One confident-fireplace thank you to get fish to consume is to grant them stay food. you may the two hatch some toddler brine shrimp, or see in the experience that your community puppy save (no longer the chain shops-they do no longer carry them) includes stay blackworms. stay food is in basic terms too no longer basic to withstand. in the event that they're unwell (see any little white spots on them or something?) you additionally can ask your community puppy save for some medicine. in the event that they have little salt-like crystals on them, it extremely is ich (short version of an prolonged call). that's pretty basic to scientific care in case you get on it precise away. there are various good ich drugs on the industry. good success!

Go to a petstore and explain to them exactly what your fish has and they will give you the correct meds.
Like petco or petsmart

Go ask vet or some one who works specifically with fish diseases.

Your fish has been infected, i would remove it before doing anything else, as it will contaminate the other fish.
