Hello,

I understood your query.

Have you been tested positive for fungus. To me it seems like a coninfection with bacteria. Get yourself tested again. Discuss with your physician for a course of antibiotics with a complete course of antifungals for eradicating infection. Wear cotton socks, avoid walking barefoot and avoid ill fitting footwear, which aggravates condition.

i hope I was able to address your concern
