Five year old boy with history of ASD and significant atopy - asthma, eczema, multiple allergies including true anaphylaxis to grass seed and pollen. Is on multiple agents including montelukast.

Onset 12 days ago of these lesions to right arm. Thought to be insect related although no insect/bite observed (first image). Currently on school holidays/no contact with other children other than younger sister. No recent travel. Lives in semi-rural (Australia) area.

Lesions are pruritic, not painful. Non compliant with keeping wounds covered. Is scratching them.

My feeling is impetigo?
