It's not ick if it's only one bump on the goldfish, ick spreads all over.
Put your fish in a seperate tank, go to you pet store and buy some antibiotics to put in with him. One pill does 10 gallons of water, so not the whole pill......just judge it out. The other tank put the antibiotics in there also, just to be safe. If you have any charcoal filter in the tank, remove it, charcoal will destroy the med.
There is several kinds of antibiotics, but most have descriptions of what they treat, so look for the one closes to what you think your fish has. It's a good idea to always have some Meds in the house, just for times like this, the faster you treat the better.
I would say it's a fungal infection from what you said. Ick is small white specks that kind of glitter some on the fishs body. Ick comes from changing temps., in the water, cold to warm etc etc.
