Is this eczema?

On DS' leg, he's 6. It started about 18 months ago I would say with just a few spots which we forgot were there as they never bothered him. Now occasionally it will flare up/go red and itchy. I think cold weather has been making it worse (he wears shorts all year round...)

And recently a new spot has appeared higher up the leg and created a new cluster.

Waiting for a response to econsult but wondered if anyone has any ideas?
