This does sound awfully like columnaris. It is a bacterial infection and if you want to save the fish you really need to get some antibiotics, ASAP. Bacteria control may buy you a bit of time, but I very much doubt that it will actually cure the infection. I'm sure there's somebody in your area who will loan you some antibiotics. They're not that expensive really.
