Could this be a Cow's milk allergy?

Hi Everyone, looking for some advice or experiences!
From around 4 weeks old my little boy has been throwing up his milk, it became quite bad around 7 weeks when he dropped from the 50th percentile to the 25th. Around this time I was advices to put him onto anti-reflux formula (he's bottle fed), this didn't really help, other than making him seriously constipated (which he already slightly suffered from) and made the sick thicker. His doctor has said he doesn't like to give out medication for reflux and just to see how it goes and since then the health visitor has said that she wonders whether it's something more than reflux for example an intolerance or allergy to cows milk. I need to book a doctors appointment for my son to clarify this but in the past week he has also developed this rash on his cheeks, it's red, dry and bumpy and appears more a little while after he has a bottle. I have looked up the signs and symptoms for a CMPA and realised that he meets quite a few for example vomiting, constipation, stomach aches, sneezing and now this rash has appeared. I wondered whether anyone had any advice or has experienced a rash like this before and if so was it a rash due to CMPA?
