It started as a hard skin on my toe. And gradually it spread from my right foot going to the right.. checked with my gp and took a test if its a fungal infection.. came out negative.. gave me dermovate it didnt help. Right now im just putting glysolid cream on my feet..

As it's been going on for some time now it may be a good idea to get back to your GP about it. Have they referred you to a dermatologist? The dermatologist is the best one who can examine you and do the tests to find out exactly what it is and treat it. Don't be surprised if they go back to square one with the fungal road but they need to rule it out themselves and take a step by step approach in elimination unless they can see and know by experience what it is. If they can't be sure they may take a swab test or a biopsy for a more detailed result in a diagnosis.

Yes it does seem to be a worrying to go through but at least eventually sooner rather than later you will find out what it is and what if anything is the best way to deal with it.

Good luck.
