What's your tank size exactly? And what's your stock? The fish could be under stress. What I always did to treat ick was make the water Warmer, it always worked.
 
60 gallon at 77 temp .4 fish in the tank . 2 jack dempseys showing weird signs .and a red devil with a agley eater . Red devil is dominator .i cranked the heat to 85 with salt to treat for a week .see if it works .the fish grows to 12 inches I'm not over stocked .got a fugal 406
 
It could be marks from a red devil attack in a 60 gallon I highly recommend getting rid of the red devil or everything else and keep the devil in there alone.
