I don't mean to be rude, but what exactly are we looking for in the picture?
 
I think he means the white spot(bacterial infection?).

Have you tried melafix(hope that's the right one!)?
 
You're using the wrong treatments, Sun. That fish needs more than copper-based treatments. Get betadine and douse the wound carefully with it. Get a hospital tank and isolate the fish there. It needs clean water to allow the wounds to heal. Store some Maracyn and Maracyn 2 just in case. It would not hurt if you mix kanaplex or maracyn and maracyn 2 on its food to allow it to ingest the antibiotics.
