Just get the anti-bacteria meds. Just make sure that it says cures dropsy, bloodstreaks & pop-eyes. Usually, the meds for this is Anti-Internal Bacteria. Look for it ya. Once applied, should be just fine.

also keep your water perfect.
what are your params right now for ammonia, nirites and nitrates?
what size tank?
how many fish?

Iv only just completely re-done the tank like 3 days ago with a new under gravel filter, all new gravel etc. the tanks 24" (lenhgth) 12" (width) 18" (depth) with 3 fully grown fish and 4 baby fish (less than 2" long)

Dun worry. It's just a minor bacterial infection. Just make sure that your tank water is in good clear condition & let it develope some good water bacterias that will promote your fishes health in the long run.

ok that means yout tank will be going through the cycle again, you are going to need to do 50% water changes every day without fail, or it is very possible you could lose all your fish.
You have far too many fish in there too, your tank sounds like around 15 gallons, which means you can only keep one large goldfish or two babies, also an undergravel filter it not enough for goldfish, especially in a tank as overstocked as yours.
you need at least 70 gallons if you are desperate to keep all your fish.
do you have a master test kit to test for ammoinia, nitrites, nitrates and ph?

my tank is about 21 gallons if my calculations are correct
