White fungus on betta

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me a few drops of meth blue so I could treat my male betta.
Or! I have API fungus cure in powdered packets. I don't want to put it in my 90g so I'm wondering if I can put a little wet powder directly on the affected fin?

I might suggest a medication bath. **Please cross reference with other sources so you don't over dose your fish. The idea is that in a small amount of water (1 gallon) you can use a higher dose of the medication (2-5x) but add the affected fish for only a few minutes to soak....before returning it to the main tank.
I'd also recommend Indian almond leaves as they have some antifungal properties and can help condition the entire tank.

Can you move him to a smaller tank while you treat him? I would absolutely not put powder directly on his fin.
