They will not go away unless you get him out of that tank. This is why you QT. Good job there. This would really suck if it was in a display.

Do the bath of formalin instead of putting him back in the QT you have to put him in another tank.

You need to run formalin in the hospital tank. Follow the instructions on the bottle. Mine states 2 drops per gallon every other day. Run an air stone at all times.

Do the freshwater dips help? Does he move around afterwards and seem more lively?

Since he is already in QT it might be best to just medicate that tank but the big purpose of the FW dip is to give immediate relief, try to get as many parasites off of the fish, then put into a clean environment where it can be medicated until it recovers.
