What Do Black And Scaly Spots On The Leg Indicate?

my son just showed me three spots on his leg (knee area). He said they started like a bug bite about a week ago but know one is about the size of a quarter and is looks like a black scab and is red around it. Another one is the size of a dine and the third still looks like a bug bite.
