Newbie- is it ich? Should I treat?

My sweet female betta has some white spots and I am itching to treat her for Ich.  Yesterday was the first time I noticed them, and she had 5 spots…2 on fins, one above her mouth, and 2 on her side.  Otherwise, she seems to be doing great.  This morning, she only has two spots on her body, in a new location.
 

I watched the YouTube videos that said to wait to see if they get more numerous, because they could be cysts or stress ich.  
 

She does have new tank mates- glo cory catfish.  I can’t make out any spots on anyone else.  My iPhone isn’t taking good enough pictures to post.  
 

Should I wait to treat?  I have API super Ich  cure at home.  It contains benzaldehyde green and 1% PVP.


 

Temp= 76F

Ammonia= 0

Nitrates = 10 ppm

Nitrite=0
pH=7.2
KH= 40
GH= 30

Last water change was 3 days ago.

 

Many thanks!
