Fungus

My tortoise has got this type of fungus seen in the pic. I've done the anti bacterial cream for 2 days, and have kept her in a dry cage. I changed the substrate in her normal cage. But I've heard you don't see results right away but after so many days it dies. And then the whitening becomes less visible. I'm wondering how much longs I should keep her in the dry cage

I would keep treating for a couple weeks. Then work on figuring out how to have the underneath substrate moist, but the top layer dry.

Bacteria and fungus are the same? I just wonder about that? You are using "anti bacterial" cream and it's a fungus she has? What is the name of the cream?

Tammy is correct, an antibacterial will only treat any secondary infections caused by the fungus, it will not get rid of the fungus. You need an antifungal cream.
