One thing for sure is you are massively overstocked.
You should stock at 10 gallons per fancy goldfish, 20 for comets/commons
or 3 gallons per inch of fish, whichever is greater.

I know this. I am in the process of slowly getting rid of the comets
(since I have 2 large tanks at my dad's work which have all my fish that are
not in this tank at home) but I do not bring more than about 5 or so fish to
the new tanks at a time because they tend to get stressed enough as it is
with transporting them. Every week or two, I switch tanks with a few fish,
as I have taken a liking to the fancy goldfish (Even though I love the
feeders) and I've been finding new homes for the goldfish with a friend who
has an outdoor pond of goldfish feeders, only right now, it's just too cold
to have his outdoor pond up and running.
With the fancy goldfish alone, they're not so big or over populated, it's
the comets that over populate.

Does the comet look like he has fungus? What are your ammonia, nitrite,
nitrate
and
PH levels?

All levels, as of yesterday, were perfect. About 4-5 weeks ago, though, I
had a ph problem, but I was able to fix it and ever since that one time,
it's been fine. I'm not sure what caused the ph to skyrocket, but after
bringing it down, I lost no fish. I often do random checks for levels,
obviously during water changes and all that, or if I think the water looks
funny or fish aren't acting normal. That one time a few weeks ago was the
only time I've ever had any problems with the ph for as long as I can
remember. I don't think it looks really like fungus... The one bump on the
one side just looks like a bump... It has no different colors, since I
thought it could be something like that hemorrhage problem I've seen before,
but I checked and there's no red on it at all. It's just a bump that looks
almost like a bruise, but there's no discolor. I also noticed this morning
that the original little white spot that looked like a little hole on the
other side from the strange bump is not white or any color now. It looks
like nothing but a small little bumpy hole? There was a little bit of white
before, but any signs of that are completely gone. No other fish have
anything, but I've taken that one fish out of the tank he was always in and
put him in a small 20gal I often use as a hospital tank last night.
He's still eating and swimming just fine. The plain bump looks about the
same, but the white hole bump is just now a hole bump without the white.
