Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.
What colour is the spot.
Can you take a pic from another angle.
Is the spot fluffy looking, or look like a cauliflower.

Can you isolate the sick fish.
Cycling tanks do cause illness.
water changes and increase aeration.
Bacterial med.

Cant isolatate.

During cycle been changing 50% of the water 3 times a day for the last two week but gone to once a day since the levels of Nitrite are staying at 0.25. I have added new bog wood and plants yesterday could this have affected it??

Live plants can remove ammonia and nitrate.
Bogwood lowers ph.

White pimples are usually bacterial, just make sure there no signs of flicking and rubbing.
Then again fish will flick and rub in bad water quality.
