Default Possible infection / fungi.. Please advise

I just bought this female Tinc from a show, and she has developed this spot on her nose. At first I thought it was from her rubbing against her container, but now it seems to be spreading. Since the pics were taken, I have moved her into a quarantine tank just to be safe. She is eating fine, temps range from 75 - 80 with high humidity in her previous cage. She is a bit overweight in my opinion. I know that female Tincs have larger hind quarters ect, but she does appear to be overly fat in her abdomen region. I know that she was with my male Tinc, perhaps that is just her build up of eggs? But that doesn't seem like a reasonable answer to me. Also, that small piece that looks like an pathogen on the underside of her mouth is / was just a small piece of moss that I wiped off her soon after. I have searched the forum and I can not find another case that is like this.

Any comments, diagnosis, treatment, or help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Time is of the essence with that frog and getting it the needed help. I would also have to say this is the possibilities that can arise from buying WC frogs, or should I say probable WC frogs. Also from reading your post apparently you housed this frog and its brewing illness with your male, which to be safe should probably be treated as well. The Frog should be taken to a herp vet, or i none are by you contact Dr. Frye the online vet that many froggers use. At the very least you will probably be prescribed antibiotics for the frogs. Good luck and let us know the outcome, Bill
