What could this foot problem be? Holes in my skin.

Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for any answers you can give me. For about a month and a half I've had a weird foot issue that looks like a bunch of tiny holes in my skin. I went to the doctor Friday and she said it is a fungus and prescribed me clotrimazole 1% and told me to apply it twice a day for 10 days. I'm on day 2 of applying it and it's getting worse than before. Anyone know what kind of "fungus" this could be. I do not feel it is a fungus. I have pictures, but don't know if I can link them. Please help!

I do not know what type of dr you went to, but I suggest you ask around to friends or neighbors and go to a infectious disease dr or a dermatologist before this gets out of control. Also if its getting worse with the topical cream/ointment, stop using it immediately. Good luck and keep me updated.
