Heat and salt should help. Can do this for 3 weeks and should clear up by then.

Do a big water change and gravel suction. Then add 1tsp per gallon repeat again after 12hrs then again after another 12 hrs. So should be a total of 3 tsp per gallon.

Kee ur temp up to 86 degrees.

Do this for 3 weeks and should be gone eventually.

Other option:
Meds available. API and kordon have good ich products.

With a planted tank, the salt could harm the plants.

Use Seachem Paraguard, which will not harm plants and has to be dosed every day. Treatment will be for 2-3 weeks, so get enough of it. Temperature can stay in the low 80s.

What have you added so far? What are ur water parameters?

My local privately owned fish store has identified it as a bacterial infection, at first it looked like ich, so I added salt, but it was only my second time using salt so I added it all at once, rookie mistake, but that made it a bit worse, thank you for your help.

Still could be from the salt being added at once. It cause skin irritation and eye damage. Would do a water change quick and see if it responds.

It got a bit worse from the salt, I am going to do melafix but I need to get the inch MEDS out and I am supposed to start the melafix at 7:00
