Alright... I should've been more specific. The bloody veiny ness below the 'skin' surface implies an internal bacteria infection. Having seen the pictures I would never ever have diagnosed finrot.

You are missing the point I was trying to make. A bacterial infection often starts out with mild symptoms such as finrot. If conditions have not been improved and if needed, treatment given quickly, it will advance to the veiny red patch you see on the fish now. In addition to that, on corydoras, the barbels could be eroding or the end of it's nose getting a white infected spot. These are typical signs of bacterial infections on corys.

Treatment was given straight away for finrot and the OP has seen no improvement. And if anything has seen a slight decline. I would never have treated for fin rot in the first place. Fin rot is caused by exposed areas getting infected and leading to them being 'eaten' away. But the bacterial med is purely for exterior bacteria.

It is clearly at the point where the infection is internal and therefore it's pointless treating for fin rot when this clearly isn't the main issue.
