Sorry to hear it.
Good luck with the treatment. Hopefully another round of treatments won't be too harsh on the fish.

i hope so too....im going to try 2 1/2 weeks of treatment and gravel vac bc it seem to do the trick for 2 weeks so maybe another half or full week would do the trick

make sure you do more frequent water changes with bottom vacuuming, and don't add any new fish!
Don't stop treatment until you have seen NO spots for a FULL WEEK to 10 DAYS.
To emphasize:
Do
frequent, and thorough water changes. Don't forget to add the appropriate amount of your treatment to the return water.

there are quite a few:
salt and heat (salt is not so great for loaches)
Rid Ich
Quick Cure
and others with malachite green and/or formalin.
