What Are The Symptoms Of Ringworm And Eczema?

Good morning. I am not sure if I have ringworm or eczema. I went to a doctor last night and he told me that it wasn t eczema. But the other day there was a clear fluid coming out from the patches behind my knee, and it is very itchy. I used anti bacterial cream and the itch is gone, it s called Terramycin. The doctor recommended me to use canesten last night, the itch is gone too but he also said that I have measles, because I have small red spots on my neck. I m not sure if he is right because our conversation went to fast, so I m worried if this is eczema, but he told me not. Can you please help me? Right now my patches are so red ( on my arms) and I have small blisters around and reddish too. Ps. I don t have enough dollars to pay to get an answer, can you please email me YYYY@YYYY thank you very much
