Are you sure that this is a rash?
Often, the blood vessels around the eyes can be damaged from crying, coughing and vomiting. The marks left behind are usually small red flecks that can be quite angry-looking in some cases. This is sometimes known as petechial rash.

apart from wait. If what you describe is broken blood vessels (and there's a good chance it is), the only thing that might help is applying something cold to the area. Try running a metal spoon under cold water and then pressing it gently against the skin beneath your eyes.
The red marks should clear up within a couple of days. Until then, you can cover them with your usual foundation - just dab a little extra onto the skin around your eyes and let it dry before blending it in.
What If It's Not Broken Blood Vessels?
It's hard to say exactly without seeing the rash. Aquagenic urticaria is a very rare medical condition - only 35 people have been diagnosed with it in the world - which causes people to suffer painful skin reactions to water (be it tears, rain or sweat), but you'd probably have noticed if you had this condition!
If the rash persists for more than several days, you might want to think about seeing a doctor, as petechial rashes (broken blood vessels) tend to clear up relatively quickly.
