Rash? Or other

My little boy developed a rash looking area on the back of his leg during our holiday 3 weeks ago but it just doesn’t seem to be clearing up. It’s raised/ scabby and does go away/fade when pressed. He has been itching it now and again also.

went to the chemist today and they gave me a barrier cream which I’ve used all day and am unsure whether there is much difference. I have attached two pics one yesterday ( first pic) and one after the cream today (2nd pic). I am unsure whether it’s a touch of eczema or maybe something else ? Just wanted other input as don’t know whether I’ll need to contact gp maybe for a steroid to clear it ?

Looks a bit like molluscum contagium that's been scratched and pestered and is now a bit infected. If it is it'll spread so you'll see new (initially very small) spots that look like little pearly bubbles that get bigger

Looks like eczema exacerbated by sweat

Parts of it look like a graze rather than a rash, did you holiday somewhere with a pool? Could it be from sitting on the edge or getting in and out?
