Hard to tell from the pic. Almost looks like a thermal burn.
Keep the anti-fungal cream, since it seems to do the work.
Also, bathing in luke-warm water and gentle scrubbing with a soft toothbrush (such as the ones for children, the softest possible).

Keep the enclosure clean and disinfected daily to prevent spreading and infection.

Let us know its progress.
