I have been experiencing this ever since I shared a shoes and it has spread to under my foot as well. At times, it makes my foot turn whitish and scaly.

When you are in the shower, urinate on your feet. Seriously.
"Proponents of urine therapy claim that urine is very effective at killing athlete's foot. Urea, the "active ingredient" in urine, is already used in many drugs and treatments made by pharmaceutical companies to treat athlete's foot. This controversial treatment method recommends urinating on the infected area once a day in the shower. According to supporters, urine therapy not only kills existing fungi, it prevents new fungi from growing in the infected area."
Follow up by rinsing your feet well, drying them well, and then applying a cream to kill the fungus (such as tolnaftate or miconozole).
Herbally speaking, you can try soaking your feet in a strong tea made from pau d'arco. (1 oz herb to 1 pint water, steep for 20 minutes). Take goldenseal/echinacea and pau d'arco capsules internally, as well. Dry your feet and apply tea tree oil, which is also a fungicide. It will sting, though. If you want a triple whammy, after the tea tree oil dries, apply the commercial ointment.

normally a good stroll in the sand by the beach is a good medication. Try soaking your feet in warm water with lots of rock salt. (2 cups of salt to a liter of warm water). Then apply zinc oxide to it or any antibacterial cream for atheletes' foot.

Your probably right. Go buy a cream or powder from the chemist and while there ask the chemist for advice. The soldiers used to pee on their feet, don't know how effective this was.

Any anti fungal cream found in the foot section of a drug store should work.
