UV only kills what passes through the sterilizer, so it will be ineffective against a fungus infection attached to the fish. In ponds its biggest benefit is controlling green water algae blooms.
Your problem does not sound like a fungus infection. When was the last time you tested the water? Maybe poor water quality?
