I actually had fungus on my hand about 15 or so years ago. I went to the dermatologist and he prescribed some pills which cleared it up. However, while I could see it exacerbating eczema which already existed, I don't think fungus causes eczema (which was the gist of the above post). I'm just saying that the OP (who still seems to be suffering from the condition), might want to go to a dermatologist for a second opinion.
As I said above, I'm not a doctor or in any way connected with the medical profession, so anything I say in this regard should be taken with a large grain of salt.
