Red spot/crator on nose and eyes

Hi. Really need some help and guidance. I am thinking of going to the GP tomorrow but just wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced this. My son, 5, is well - no temp, had a cough but nothing too severe. Last Friday we noticed a spot on his nose, it wasn’t red. On Saturday there was a red spot on his nose - like someone drew a red circle. Over the days it has crusted but not healed and there seems to be another one forming next to it. The red spot now looks like a small crator. Please see pics. Coincidentally, or not, on the same day (last Friday) or the day after he had a red spot on his eyelid. His eyes this morning was also crusty and there were a few more spots on his eyes. Please see pic. I’m just puzzled as to what the spot on his nose is and also if the eye is related. When googling - the worse comes up. Thank you for any advice.
