David:

I would test if any fungicide you mentioned causes damage or not. In theory,
it is not a good idea to use a fungicide if you don't know what it is. If
the fungicide you use has a broad spectrum, it might work. But still
specific fungicide should work for a specific disease much better. Besides,
most fungicides are preventitive, not curative.

Nobody cares this, but I would have some professional diagnositian to look
at it if you really care. What if it is cased by bacteria? (Normally)
fungicides do not work on bacterial disease.

I also would encorgate you to invetstigate more 'environmental' approach. If
the condition is not right for a disease, you would not see it. This means
something is wrong or not right for the conditions you have for your plants.
Other than depending on a 'quickie' approach, there might be something you
can do.
