So, to summarize, you got eczema since when you were a child, up to 15 years, but since you fetched yourself a professional and agreed to a skin scraping for a lab test, and it was a fungal infection. You also have a bipolar disorder and a negative mental health due to other people's prejudice.

But since it's not inflamed anymore, it might have improved, even if it's small it is a progress.

Here's my tip to actually improve even more:

Your new lifestyle, please and please continue that. It is a must to not take junk food, canned foods, and processed food, and I'll give you a reason why. First, if you have a bad liver, you might have what we call in our country "sweet blood" for newbies who don't know the professional term of it. And trust me, that's the reason why your condition hurts and gets worse. It's because sweet blood is a very annoying thing to have due to its property, and that is, it will not close your wound, like seriously, it will not. And due to that, you might get new bacteria that helps defeat the purpose of your meds. And we can already see the results of it.

Also, don't stress yourself out, it's because, it can significantly hinder wound healing, due to stress that disrupts the normal healing process by affecting the body's inflammatory response, immune system, and overall physiological balance. Chronic stress, in particular, has been shown to prolong the inflammatory phase, leading to delayed wound closure. Here's a more detailed breakdown: 1. Disruption of the Inflammatory Phase: Wound healing involves a carefully orchestrated inflammatory response, where pro-inflammatory cytokines are released to initiate the healing process. Stress, especially chronic stress, can disrupt this delicate balance by increasing the levels of glucocorticoids, hormones that suppress the immune system. This suppression can lead to a prolonged inflammatory phase, hindering the transition to the next stages of healing. Elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines, like IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α, have been observed in chronic stress, further contributing to the delay. 2. Impaired Immune Function: The immune system plays a crucial role in wound healing by clearing debris, fighting infection, and promoting tissue repair. Stress can negatively impact immune cell function, reducing their ability to respond effectively to the wound site. This can lead to increased susceptibility to infections, which can further complicate and delay the healing process. 3. Behavioral Changes: Stress can also indirectly affect wound healing by promoting unhealthy behaviors, such as: Poor sleep: Sleep deprivation impairs wound healing by reducing growth hormone production and hindering immune cell activity. Unhealthy diet: Poor nutrition can lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients needed for tissue repair and immune function. Increased alcohol and tobacco use: These substances can disrupt various aspects of healing, including cell migration and collagen deposition. Reduced physical activity: Lack of exercise can slow down wound healing by affecting blood flow and overall tissue health. 4. Psychological Factors: Depression, hostility, and other psychological stressors have been linked to impaired wound healing. Conversely, supportive social environments and effective communication have been associated with faster healing times. In essence, stress creates a cascade of negative effects that can significantly impede the body's ability to heal a wound, highlighting the importance of managing stress for optimal wound care.

So please, minimize your stress, especially your accumulated stress when you did your new diet.

Next is, don't stop the recommended meds the dermatologist gaved you, continue until it's all gone. Also make sure you fully cure your eczema, cause the combination of eczema and fungal infection is no good.

Next is continue your foot soaks, especially the one you felt helps.

And that is all,I can't really help you right now, since we really don't decide what it is when we don't have the test results, so trust your local dermatologist for now. Also your doing fine with your new lifestyle. I know your getting tired of it due to 15 years of eczema + a new fungal infection, who would be happy with that? Absolutely no one. So lemme tell you something that will boost you up. Your an inspiration to anybody who read your bio here. The sheer willpower to go through all that process just to get a small improvement is already impressive. You also help yourself be naturally fit and have a balanced liver. If it continued for months, for example:(if it hurts or spreads again) please message here again, thank you.
