You should see your doctor or dermatologist to rule out a persistent fungal infection or chronic eczema, which often requires stronger antifungal or steroid treatments. Keep your feet clean and dry, avoid scratching, and stop using homeopathic remedies, as they may mask the underlying cause and prevent proper healing.

It sounds frustrating to have persistent itching and scaling under your foot despite treatment. This ongoing issue may be due to a chronic skin condition like eczema or fungal infection that sometimes requires more targeted evaluation and management.

  • Since Niosalic-6 Ointment (containing clobetasol and salicylic acid) is a strong steroid and keratolytic used for eczema and psoriasis, incomplete response suggests the need for reassessment.
  • Persistent or fluctuating symptoms could also indicate a fungal infection (like athlete’s foot) that may need antifungal treatment rather than just steroids.
  • I recommend seeing a dermatologist for a thorough examination, possible skin scraping or culture tests, and tailored treatment. They can confirm the diagnosis and adjust therapy accordingly.
  • Avoid excessive scratching to prevent skin damage and secondary infection.
  • Meanwhile, keep the foot clean and dry, use mild soap, and avoid irritants or harsh chemicals.

If you notice worsening redness, swelling, pain, or signs of infection, seek urgent medical care. Consulting a dermatologist will provide the best guidance for your condition. If you want, I can explain more about possible causes or treatments.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you've been dealing with itchy, scaly skin under your foot for a year, and the treatments you've tried haven't fully resolved the issue.
