If the white areas are "chalky" on touch - this is the fungal infection. Treated with cheap athlete's foot antifungal creme (available in general pharmacies and in some convenience stores without a prescription). Apply daily for a week, gently clean with a soft bristle toothbrush.

To prevent this in future - make sure that top substrate layer is dry (but lower layers should be damp to sustain high humidity).

Try putting some antifungal cream on it. Like you can buy for athletes foot
Do this daily after you give a soak and wipe away the cream from the day before. Do this until healed.

Should be applied until healed. However, if after a week there is no improvement then recommend switching to an antibiotic cream. This is usually for those that aren't obviously fungal.
