If not, then you can cross that off. Seems like you are doing all you can if it's HLLE (diet/WCs) and once you get your copper up to .5 that covers Ich/external parasites. Only thing left you can do is administer antibiotics if it's a bacterial infection.
The wound could be due to flukes IMO. Agree with the above, a freshwater dip would rule flukes out if nothing else. One less possibility to have to consider.
