Sweety, without knowing what your fish have, there isn't going to a be a good answer to your question. Pictures are very helpful, or at least a good description of what your seeing along with a time line of when the spots showed up and when the fish were last introduced to the tank ect. Shep is right though, the universal treatment is usually copper or CP, though neither of these things treats brook which can sometimes present as spots as well. Then again, there is Lymph which can look like ick at first but isn't lethal and doesn't require QT at all.
Post up a clear, close up picture or two and we will be happy to give you much better answers.
Another way to tell: Usually if you can count the white spots on the fish its ich.
However, if they are too numerous to count (i.e. the fish is completely covered in white spots) there's a good chance you are dealing with velvet.

Give this link a read and if it isn't clear or you need more help, let us know. Velvet (Amyloodinium ocellatum)
^^Agree. This section specifically deals with treating velvet: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/velvet-amyloodinium-ocellatum.217570/#post-2499437
If you can't get formalin or acriflavine, at least give all your fish a FW dip and get them into a QT and treat with copper. You need to do this ASAP!
