Rash All Over His Face

My son woke up today with a rash all over his face, but not on his body. He has swollen (can still open) eyes and dark circles under the eyes. The rash is also on his eyelids. They are pimple like bumps and he scratches it all day. he didn't sleep well last night at all. Is this still eczema?
