Hi. It appears you have tried everything. I give you a simple thing to do regularly for at least a week. Choose a big tub which can accommodate your both feet comfortably. Pour water at least 6 inches of depth. Go on adding common salt till it stops to dissolve that is saturated. Heat this water in a container , put in a tub, test the temperature every time with the back of your hand as this is most sensitive and to avoid burns to feet. Relax the feet in this water. You may keep some of this water on a stove to add or replace as the water tends to become cool fast on keeping feet. Do this at least for 15 minutes twice daily. Do not throw away this water irrespective it will become dirty. Use the same .
