Hey!!
I’m relatively new to the hobby and could really use some help! I noticed a which patch on one of my Platy fish.

I goggled it and it seems like it’s likely white spot but I just wanted confirmation before treating?

Thanks in advance!

It's definitely not ich. With ich, there would be many tiny white spots all over the fish, like grains of salt. This looks more like a fungal or bacterial infection (maybe Columnaris, but it's difficult to tell). If you can get your hands on a broad-spectrum antifungal or antibacterial medication, then try it - ideally in a separate tank.
