My white lipped tree frog has been jumping towards the glass of his vivarium and i think he injured himself and got a fungal disease i think, it's a white spot on the front of the upper jaw, is it what i'm thinking. If it's a fungal infection how do i treat it, i read i have to dilute 50% hydrogen peroxide with water.

I would ask a vet. I know polysporin is good for some amphibians, but I'm not sure with your particular frog.
Closeup pics might help too.

I think there's a link for some vets on here.....

antibiotic ointment is fine to use, just make sure it IS NOT the kind that also spot treats pain.

Here are the pics, there's a white spot on the front of the upper jaw, it's barely noticeable but it's there, btw notice aswell that i'm not a good photographer
