Right now- separate both bettas. The most important thing is to keep whatever fungus this is away from the male! Find a large jar or clean and empty tank and place the female in it. Add a dash of aquarium salt to help alleviate any current stress. After you do that research her symptoms and find the best med for her disease. It sounds like a nasty fungus infection but you must be careful with any med or prognosis as these can be very delicate animals.

We know this- but I wanted to help her treat her fish before I dwelved into proper envronment, etc.
Do you really want to have Betta babies? They all need their own 'house', they aren't a community fish so they can't be kept together.

Yes I know that I don't have a fish tank right now. I might get Betas but I really want to breed fish. I used to have a couple fish but they died and I couldn't fund anymiore fish. Now I'm getting back into the hobby.
I do have expeirience with betas though I used to have 2 of them.

First off, separate those bettas! Males and females should never be housed together, and injuries could occur.
Secondly, these "cloudy spots"--are they cottony and white? If so, could be fungus. Treat with a medication called Maracyn in a separate tank.
Keep the water in both containers pristine clean with frequent water changes, so the fungus doesn't re-occur, and so things can properly heal.
