Update on 2). The name of the medicine is ketoconazole. It is available in local pharmacies. The china brand I am using dosage is 10 mg per 1 gram, the one the pharmacist showed me is 20 mg per 1 gram (legal max limit).
Ketoconazole is NOT A STEROID. Confirmed by the pharmacist.
I have recommended this to 2 colleagues I know of suffering from eczema. One of them has positive results from using this medication. The other has yet to try.
Should you decide to give this a try. Do not let the pharmacist persuade you to try other medication. They are blinded by their medical knowledge and will try to recommend something else, possibly another steroid.
Insist on ketoconazole. Do not use this on large areas of your body, for me I use this on the worst areas on my hands and changed area as it recovered. And even then, I used as little of the cream as possible on each application.
Do not use continuously for more than 4 weeks.
Why does this fungicide works on eczema? I have no idea. I suspect it has something to do with yeast invading the skin structure (yeast is part of human flora fauna). I have not been able to find a scientific research on this.
Let me know if there are any success with using Ketoconazole.
