Hi Sarah,
Thank you for your query,
This lesions are looking like chickenpox only but the clinical examination is important to accurately diagnose it and usually it is associated with fever.
In allergic one there will be no fever.
Apply plain calamine lotion externally.
Trim his nails and avoid him from scratching the lesions.
Consult your Pediatrician for further examination and specific management.
Hope I have answered your query.
