Fungal infection
It has been a few months, I am having severe itching on the sole of my right foot. The skin is getting hardened like some plastic and it itches so bad that I often find myself peeling off the callused skin. I go sometimes so far that it starts bleeding and after it gets healed, the itching happens again. This has been ongoing since month. I am on homeopathic medicine but I am not sure if it's working or not. Please suggest the best course of action.
