Default Extreme hair loss.pls help

My Syria n hamster Rambo 1.5 yes old is suffering from extreme hair loss.it started around the scent glands on both sides and spread rapidly.now the entire hind legs and belly are completely hairless and the skin is visible.its gradually spreading to mech and head too...I live in India and there is no vets specialised for hamsters here.but I did take him to a general vet who gave an antifungal cream and some multivitamins..they seem to be helpless when it comes to hamsters and the only medicine available are for dogs and cats which has to be extremely diluted and fed to hamsters.i don't think there's any hope in vets here and so I'm turning to u guys for help in figuring out what it is.the skin now visible is normal pink and neither dry nor flaky..there are very tiny spots around the scent gland.im attaching a picture of my Rambo while sleeping.he is perfectly healthy and acting as usual but it's heart wrenching to see all his hair gone like this what should I do?why is this happening?is it because of any other health issue or parasites?pls pls help.any suggestion is welcome.i cannot find any similar condition anywhere on the internet.pls help.
