Six year old with fast spreading rash around eyes

Six months ago my five year old, now six, developed a rash around her right eye. It was small, just across her eye lid. After visiting four doctors, yet total of six visits, I have been told it was ring worm/fungal, now ezema. I have not been told how to treat this, nor have any test been done. This rash, six months later has spread to her mouth and to the other eye. It has a red outline and the center has raised hive like patches. The skin surrounding looks darker than her normal color. She complains of pain to the touch yet very little itching. I'm so exausted with my search for answers and loosing faith in our appointed doctors. I have changed twice recently and still no hope. Can you please help??

Your description does sound like ring worm,tinea faciale ,  it does require treatment Its surprising they didn't did you something for it. several anti fungal creams ...Clotrimazole..Terbinafine   Miconazole  with treatment should take 4-6 2weeks toheal ..good luck ..only other thought was an allergy from something used on her face ..
