Any help appreciated.

I’ve removed some wire trunking and th plaster coat perhaps(??) has peeled away in areas. I’m now reading about skim coating .

Questions:
1. I’m about to paint the walls. Can I just paint over these patches?
2. If so, straight off with my normal paint or some sort of underlay thing?
3. If not, should I peel this off as far as I can?
4. As a novice is this something I should get someone in to remedy?
Thanks in advance (ignore black tape, just there temporarily to hold wires now I’ve removed trunking)

I'd mix up some Toupret quite loose and fill with a euro knife, then sand down, wipe and let it dry. Then paint with something like zinsser gardz primer and then paint with emulsion feathering the edges to blend the join.
