This may represent tinea pedis or pitted keratolysis. See a dermatologist to have the area evaluated and treated appropriately.
I agree with the other responses. There are several reasons for the dryness and scaling that may not be from athletes foot alone. IN addition to all the other answers I usually suggest drying your feet after you bath and wash your feet with soap and water, not just rinsing them, use a hair dryer to get the extra moisture off the foot and in between your toes. It takes about 30-60 seconds at most and you will be surprised how moist your feet are after you dry. If the the Lotrimin cream + Clortrimazole have not helped yoou shold see a podiatrist before this gets more complicated. From the limited photo your 3rd nail seems thicker which could also be from fungus-athletes foot. You did not mention if this itches which is something that a different medication would address. The callus is not from the athletes foot and should also be evaluated unless you simply wear flip flops and sandals all the time or go bear footed.

I agree with the prior posts. More than likely you have athlete's foot. OTC products can be successful if you are diligent and use them twice daily. If you do not get improvement within 2 weeks, see your local podiatrist.
This is a fungal infection of the foot along with a possible callous formation. Get an anti fungal cream as recommended on previous posts. If the fungus has spread to the nail, then sometimes oral medications need to be taken. this should be in conjunctive with a physician as the liver needs to be monitored while taking oral anti fungals. Finally laser technology especially for nail bed fungus may be off some utility.
Increased perspiration or tight shoes can cause this problem. Newer options such as Botox can help with the perspiration for 6 to 9 months

You may have a couple of things going on. First and most likely is a fungal infection of the skin usually caused by excessive perspiration and lack of cleaning of shoes. The second may just be a callus on the ball of the foot or like mentioned before other diseases that can cause thickening of the skin like dermatitis or lichen planus as well as many others. You should make an appointment and your doctor can treat the cause very efficiently and quickly as long as you follow instructions well and treat everything including your bath tub and shoes. Make sure that you wear sandals in public areas specially at gyms and showers!!
