Well I believe the radioactive dragon eyes I got yesterday have a few spots of pox on them. I'm going to pull them out in a second to double check. I know Furan 2 is the ideal treatment but I'm not sure I can get it locally. I saw Petsmart has the tetra fungus guard has the same active ingredients and that it has the same ingredients. Anyone else tried this for a dip?
 
Here's some pics. Luckily it only looks like 2 or 3 spots out of 50 polyps.

I'm not sure about the medication, but you could just use a pair of tweezers and try & remove the affected polyps.
 
I ended up finding some Furan 2 locally for $10. Going to start dipping them tonight.
 
I tried various Gram Positive and Gram Negative treatments.... only Furan2 works.
You can buy it online marine depot, DFS for starters.
 
Did my first dip last night. 1 packet in a cup of water for 15 min. Rinsed in tank water then put back in under fairly high flow.
 
Furan2 worked great for me with pox and fungus. I did 4 treatments. Once every day for 4 days. Made a video about it on youtube. Hope it works out for you
 
Well this pic sucks but there is a noticeable difference in the spots after a 15 min dip the past two nights.

The pox are a fungus, I think, and you are actually treating it. Bayer just kills anything that's it suppose to be there
