A fungus on a person's face can be treated through an anti-fungal cream applied two to three times per day. The fungus should disappear in about 2-3 weeks. You must keep the area clean and don't put your hands and food around the area.

If you don't know what it's from, see a doctor. It's likely s/he'll just tell you to use an over-the-counter anti-fungal treatment similar to those used for athlete's foot.
