I think it is white spot. You have a picture? Helps alot.

Try adding a heater. Crank the temp to 32 deg/C and no more. Three days, they should go away..

Temp above 28 degrees will do.

doesn't sound like white spots, are these white thingy on the body like white pepper dots? might be some other dieases
