Hello to all -
My daughter is suffering for a foot disease and we are wasting a lot of money already
for the dermatologist but still it doesn't have permanent solution.
It is fine for the first two weeks or days but will return again or being active again
after taking all the medicines and the ointment.
Please advise the causes of this illness so that we can take a look of all the possible solutions for this.
Thank you.

I am not a certified dermatologist so I am just giving suggetions. I know this can be real challenging for you as the mother but there are certain hygenic rules that can be can be of help.
Try and keep the feet clean and dry. For now wear slippers that can allow her feet to breathe and allow for natural air to reach the feet.
Try putting a little baking soda on the feet when it is dried. When a pair of shoes is wore always sun it.

probably it was caused by a certain fungus or bacteria. just keep it clean and dry. clean and disinfects her shoes, socks, or slippers to avoid reccurrent infection.

Well, I herd that some foot diesases are really contagious, she may have got it from gym showers, pool and other places where she was bare footed. I am not a dermatologist and don't know cures, however be careful as not to spred the disease, do not use for example the same towels. I am sorry for your daughter that she cannot get rid of this foot disease, my opinion it to talk again to the dermatologit and tell her the problem, so she may discover where is the exact problem.

Yeah, that's the problem and it is difficult to control because during sleep, she tends to touch her feet and touch also other parts of the body which may cause the germs to spread out.
We have constant check-up to the dermatologist anyway, but we are running out of budget.

Have you heard about the name "Hongkong Feet". For such a disease, we are advised to take vitamin B1, and avoid too refined food. You can also try taking hot spring bath, which is said to be good for health, especially for healing skin problems. It is also good for remove anxiety, and in turn, help get rid of various diseases.

When we were young my older sister is suffering from hand and foot disease and my parents also spend lot of money for dermatologist but nothings happened so they try transfer to another dermatologist and her new dermatologist gave her antibiotics and advice her to change her ointment and cream, after one week my sister's skin healed and back to normal. You can also try to ask other dermatologist if you think your daughter's skin is not healing.
