Is this chicken pox?

I am unsure whether to send my 11 year old to school tomorrow. He has a rash just on one arm which looks a bit like chicken pox but it seems a bit odd that the rest of his body is completely clear. He is also well otherwise.

Has anyone known a chicken pox rash to start on one limb only? I guess it could be insect bites but they look a bit too concentrated. What do people think?

He was exposed to chicken pox but only 3 days ago (I think the incubation period is 2 weeks?) and had it extremely mildly 3 spots when he was 4.
