Fungal infection of the foot which is called athletes foot can be treated. Stop using O2 seem as it will never cure the infection. Please send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment

Firstly - stop all creams for a week - then get a KOH testing done from the dead skin.. If its positive for fungal elements - you 'll need oral meds for atleast 6 weeks for complete cure. So kindly do the above mentioned steps at the earliest. AND SEE A QUALIFIED DERMATOLOGIST NEAR YOU / CONTACT ON PRACTO DIRECT WITH THE REPORTS AND PHOTOS .
