Is this eczema?

Last october, when I arrived here in Manila, i was sad to see my nephew with allergies at his face. It was really red and his eyes were swollen. Then on some parts of his body, there was extreme dryness. So my sister went to the emergency room of the hospital to have him checked. He was given a few meds to take to make the swelling subside. They were thinking at first that it might be a case of eczema . The next day, they went to see a pediatric dermatologist. He was given some more meds then later on scheduled for a skin test.

A few weeks after, his skin test results stated that he is allergic to fish of any kind. Yes, he is not eating fish for now and we are hoping that soon he will outgrow this allergy so he can eat fist again.
