it's over.

You can try and scape out soft spot and put fungicide powder on area with a fan blowing on area, but most people don't have much luck.

I used a 10% bleach solution on mine as well as Agro K Cal and Cal Phos.. Used a blow dryer on the cool setting after each application. The spot is almost an inch deep but has now scared over and it is fine. Just a spot that I need to keep dry.
