Brief Answer:
Use clotrimazole ointment.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
You can try to use antifungal ointment such clotrimazole ointment 1% . It can be found over the counter in pharmacy.
You can apply it on skin three times per day for 7 days.
Wash feet well and dry them well.
Use cotton socks and avoid having wet feet.
If it still doesn't go away you can use oral antifungals such fluconazole but you need a doctor's prescription for it.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
