CMPA rash or acne/dermatitis?

Hi everyone :). My baby is 8w old and has what started as baby acne (according to health visitor and GP) but now I’m not so sure it is baby acne since it also seems to be affecting his eyes and his skin feels quite dry/rough too so I’m thinking it might be eczema or CMPA. He always seems to be in discomfort, he also started to have diarrhea in the last 3 days (GP booked for tomorrow) and he has silent reflux too (he’s been on lansoprazole for about 2w now which seems to be helping a little but it’s early to tell I think). He had mucous on his poo for just 2 days when he got a little cold but no more mucous now just diarrhea. Would CMPA always be accompanied by projectile vomiting, mucus/blood in stool and extreme crying or are there more mild cases? Baby is fully formula fed (Cow and Gate Comfort with carobel to thicken a little - he drinks 3-4oz every 2h on the dot). I’m a bit lost and wondering if I’m overthinking and maybe he just has acne and the fussiness comes from reflux.. idk. What do you think, please?
