This rash in a 10-month-old following an insect bite near the eye, spreading over the body, needs proper in-person examination.
Next Steps
Please do not delay and visit a pediatrician at the earliest for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment. Do not self-medicate. For further guidance, connect with me on Practo or WhatsApp.

Looking like miliaria. It is usually due to excessive heat and perspiration. Essential fatty acid deficiency also can have similar rash called phrinoderma. Allergy can cause swelling redness and urticarial rashes. But they disappear after treatment without leaving bumps or scars.
Next Steps
Child requires clinical examination and necessary treatment.

From the pictures, this does not appear like typical chickenpox. It looks more suggestive of an insect bite hypersensitivity/allergic skin reaction. However, since the rash has spread and there is swelling around the eyes, physical examination by a pediatrician/dermatologist is advised to confirm the diagnosis and rule out secondary infection or other viral rashes.
Next Steps
Meanwhile can use calamine lotion for relief
