HELP! Tumor like blisters on fish

I have some grey angelfish that needed to be quarantined initially because I noticed some red blemishes started to appear on the fish. I gave them a nitrofurazone and kanaymcin mix and watched as this treatment diminish the aforementioned red blemishes. I place them back in the main pool and after about 3 weeks or so I noticed these tumor like blisters started to appear. I attached some photos of the tumor like growth. I wanted to know if anyone has ever seen anything like this and if you did, how did you treat it.

It's tough to be 100% sure. I suspect it's Lymphocystis. It's unsightly, generally considered not curable, but not highly contagious. Here is an short article on it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphocystis
Here is another - http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fa181
Here is a thread on RS about the disease - http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forum/index.php?threads/lymphocystis-info-and-cure.69537/

You fish might also have multiple infections, so you need to watch out for those also.
Thanks Dave. Appreciate the help and providing me with the articles
