Pitted Keratolysis/Nail Fungus/Athletes

2017-09-14 14:11:39
My feet is smelling bad when I wear shoe for even 4 hours. First I thought it as athletes foot and used lotrimin to treat. Then I understood its pitted Keratolysis and used 10% Benzoyl Peroxide ointments. When used they seemed like treating but as soon as I stop using they are going back to smelling bad and becoming very rough.

Benzoyl peroxide is not used for pitted keratolysis. It is very easy to treat. Please call me or send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice.
