I have visited my doctor more than five times. I used different treatments such as: Ketoconazole cream and shampoo, Itraconazole tablets for a month, and clotrimazole cream and powder for a long time. In addition to this, I would change my shoes and socks a couple of times very day; I washed my feet two times a day. But I didn't get any solution. It smells even with in an open shoe. So please I need your experience.

Dear Solomon,
I treated a case like yours years ago, firstly, you may not have a a fungal infection at all but something called eczema, or psoriasis. Treat as follows:- use a coal tar shampoo on your feet its mild on your skin. Do not rub your skin, just pat it dry, be very gentle to your skin. If you have to wear socks only wear cotton or bamboo, bamboo has a natural antibacterial in it.
When you launder your clothes do your socks separately if you can, if not take them out after the washing is done and rinse them separately by hand, put a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda in the water, wring out and leave them dry in the sun again if possible. Do not use fabric softener, add white vinegar to the final rinse in the machine it gets rid of the soap residue, it makes your clothes softer naturally.
Try to expose your feet to the sun every day, it aids your skins recovery. Take all your shoes and wash them final rinse of bicarbonate of soda in the water, set in the sun to dry, at night dust the insides with bicarbonate of soda powder, vaccuum or shake it out in the morning before you wear them.
Lastly, look at your diet, there is probably something that is irritating your system, making things worse for you. I sincerely hope that this works for you, if not ask to be referred to a skin specialist and dietitian,
Soak your feet in a strong solution of black teabags and hot water (as hot as you can stand) Use 6-8 tea bags (cheap brand works as well as expensive) and leave them in the water as you soak, rubbing your feet on them occasionally during the twenty minute soak. DO NOT rinse off. Dry them thoroughly(you may need a towel just for this purpose as the tea will probably stain) My dh swears by this and it seems to work. You may need to actually replace your shoes as odor tends to stay in ones like sneakers.
My partner suffered from this problem as well and I treated it with cotton swabs dipped in Tea Tree Oil. This was applied once daily at bedtime and has done the job for him.
Years ago the military used boric acid in their foot powder for stinky feet. If you take a tablespoon of boric acid powder and mix with a quart of water,then put in a spray bottle. Wash your feet before bed or after work. Sit down some where you can put your feet up, spray your feet (top and bottom) and let them dry completely. This should take about a week.
This has worked for two people I know that had smelly feet so bad they never took their shoes off until they got in the shower. One person had 3 pairs of work shoes. One to wear, one in the washer and one drying. His boss was so excited about the spay he told me "I don't care how much that stuff costs. Order him a big drum of it I'll pay for it."
First of all, if you are a cigarette smoker, quitting smoking will help immensely! (Believe it or not, I know it sounds strange.) Also, Naturally Fresh deodorant foot spray has helped me.
