i just realized this today and im so confused what im going to do with it, i live in tropical country btw... any suggestions what should i do??

I would take it to a professional repair facility and get it cleaned. I would not risk trying to take it apart especially if the fungus is inside the lens.

uh the fungus is inside the lens and its size is small like a dot.. im afraid that something in my lens changed if i take it to the repair facility, because i've heard that if a lens get repaired or taken apart, the something in the lens probably will become different

LiveShots gave you the best solution.

 

Unless you want to take the lens apart, clean and re-assemble yourself you are going to have to accept trusting a repair facility.

 

Do research reviews for various facilities in your area and select the one with the best reputation. Take shots with the lens before sending it in. Take the same shots when you get it back and if there are problems you will have documented examples of before and after repair.

If you take it apart yourself, something almost certainly will become different!  Take it to someone who knows what he/she is doing.

Given the fear of repair services, and a readiness 

to try a home repair, I'd suggest ignoring it. Maybe 

it will grow so slowly the lens will become obsolete

before the fungus eats the whole thing. And, if the 

fungus grows really fast, then you can take it apart 

cuz then you have nothing to lose anywho. 

   

I've thrown away a few lenses. You win some, you 

lose some. Thaz life on the planet.

Username the OP never said they'd be open to a home repair.

 

Frankly, your response was pretty stupid and unhelpful.
