It is a little difficult to tell from your photo but if it looks like a fungal infection and obviously a fungal remedy should be treated. Obviously you will have to do wait until the treatment is completed and then see if any improvement takes place.

Can't really tell from the pic but from the description probably a fungal infection: I have used API FungusCure and Mardel MarOxy in a hospital tank successfully before.

If you tilt your camera a bit and keep it a bit higher, the flash will not show in the pics.
