A dry patch mistaken for ringworm appeared and eventually became infected eczema as diagnosed by the doc i saw - am worried it is otherwise.

Not sure exactly: what you're asking. From your description, it sounds like the proper diagnosis, but you didn't mention what you were treated with. If you just started on your treatment, it should start improving in a couple of days; if not, please go back to the doctor.
