There are two possibilities that I can think of. The first is encysted nematodes, you can try praziquantel or de-los for these. The worms are diagenic and do not spread to other fish.
The second is dermcystidium, a disease I have only read about. That is a fungal disease and has no known treaTment. It ids not generally dangerous but can spread to other fish if if nodules rupture.
