Default Cory with Fungus

One of my cories has a puff of fuzzy growth on his first dorsal spike. I am pretty sure he is the one that was caught in the net when I put him in the tank - that is where he was caught at. After doing some research, he probably got the fungus as a result of the trauma. Now, I tried Maracyn and Maracyn 2 along with Coppersafe - recommended. Nothing happened. I went to a local aquarium store and the woman there recommended a fungal treatment from "Jungle" which turned bright yellow in the tank. She said I should see a difference in a couple of days. Today is day two. I can do another treatment after four days and a 25% water change. She she finds it works better than Maracyn. Has anyone tried this? Is there anything I can do. I read that salt baths can help, but wouldn't that hurt a cory?
