Not an expert, but could it be "red blotch disease"? http://www.fishchannel.com/fish-health/ ... sease.aspx

Have you tested the water? Ammonia and nitrite in the water can cause these type of sores. How long did it take from the sores first appearing to the fish dying and were there any other symptoms such as lethargy heavy breathing ect?
