My cat has black stuff in his nose. Is it a recurring fungus?

Question

My cat keeps getting black stuff inside the tip of his nose. I'll clean it and it's back the next day. It started in just one nostril and now it's in both. I had a cat that had this years ago and it was a fungus. I used a cream that cleared it up but forgot what it was called. Any suggestions? Thanks.

It does look like a fungal infection but the location is not good for a cream (he will lick it instantly), i recommend that you take Arthur to the vet in order to get it checked, this is best treated with oral antifungal medication (prescription only).
