Judging by that picture, your not providing a clean healthy environment for your fish. Substrate has nothing to do with it. People who keep spreading this nonsense needs to stop. Its an old myth of the aquarium world and its bogus. Been proven time and time again to be wrong.
The reason most Cory's loose their barbels is due to poor conditions and diet. Your fish is very extreme, I would think that's its a bacterial infection caused by the poor living conditions. You need to do a better job of cleaning your tank and filter. Provide minimum 50% water changes weekly and feed a healthy diet.
I highly doubt throwing meds in the tank at this point is going to do any good, it will likely be to hard on the fish and kill it.
Do any of the fish have Popeye or finrot or cloudy eye? What other tank mates? What size tank, temp?
A full tank shot would really help.
