Using a substance that prevents water from reaching the feet

Question
A woman has fungi on her feet, so she applies a medication that forms a layer like nail polish, which is removed every 24 hours. What should she do regarding ablution?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible for her to wipe over it if wiping does not harm her, and if wiping harms her, then washing and wiping are waived due to the medication, and God knows best.
