Child Developed Rashes On Ear Back, Eyelids, Below Eyes. Prescribed Betaderm, Clotrimaderm. Is It Ringworm?

Hi there my son who is seven years old devoped a rash on his ear back in June ( 5 months ago). The doctor prescribe betaderm and clotrimaderm and said that it looked like eczema but that the clotrimaderm would take care of fungus just Incase. The rash never completely cleared up. But my doctor insisted it was eczema and prescribed mometasone furoate. It never worked either. Now today I took my son back with the rash now on his eyelids and below his eyes as well as a dime sized patch in his shoulder. And the ear rash which is mildly inflamed. My doctor again prescribed the betaderm and clotrimaderm and told me it would be safe around eyes. But the pharmacist advised me not to put it on eyes. I'm so confused and worried. Can it be ringworm? Anyways tomorrow I will take him to emerg at sick kids because I'm just so scared.
