Do a water change and gravel vac.
Then start treating again.

Have you raised temp to 30.
Have you increased aeration.

started treatment again the other day and also added liquid garlic to there frozen bloodworm and pellets and that seems to be doing well and helping

Parasites are meant to hate garlic.

Glad there some improvement.

I am just finishing up the treatment on my tanks after getting white spot. I read in an aquarium book I have that even after the treatment is done you may still see a few lone specks on the fish. These are specks that just haven't fallen off yet. Sort of like a scab? Obviously if more appear than that means it isn't gone. My tanks look pristine now, but for a couple remaining specks that have been on my tetra for a day or two. Doing my water changes tonight and hoping I don't have to retreat.

Disregard that last comment. I did some more research and I would make sure all the spots are gone! Apparently the book I read is outdated.
