Sounds more like a parasite to me. Your LFS should carry medication for it. The parasite may or may not be apparent in the tank, but left untreated it's likely that other fish may catch it. As for brand of meds, just make sure that it's safe to use with all the fish in your tank (read carefully) and is made to treat parasites.
