Brief Answer:
Doesn't look like fungal infection, answer few questions

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it doesn't look like a fungal infection.
It looks like either an eczema or psoriasis.
I would like to ask you few questions:
Are they present on one foot or other body sites as well?
Do you have itching, burning or any other complaints on the lesions?
Which antifungal tablet have you taken?
Kindly revert with the answers.
Regards
Dr Asmeet

Brief Answer:
Topical steroid and antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
It looks like an eczematous rash.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once daily at bedtime.
This should improve it.
