Welcome to HCM

Based on your history, as he had prior ear infection, the skin lesions most probably should be of infectious cause. More over it is associated with redness and soreness.
So mostly it should be impetigo.

He will require a course of oral antibiotic (preferably augumentin) and T-bact ointment for local application.

Basic hygeine precautions like cleanliness will prevent from spreading.

Oral medications has to be given im a dose based on his weight.

He will be fine.Take care.
