I have had a 3 striped damsel for 2 weeks now, a few days ago he started developing white spots (oh great ick) so I begin treatment for ick, but the spots just keep getting bigger and bigger. I have had run ins with ick in the past and would say that these spots are way to big... I’m thinking more like tumors? My ammonia has spiked to about 1 and I am actively treating it. Other then that nothing else is wrong, no itching, eating fine, swimming fine, being a jerk face to the rest of the fish. What should I do for this guy?

Unfortunately I would suggest if he is being a jerk and not responding to treatment- discard it.
You can then change water to reduce ammonia which is likely caused in part by ich treatment
