Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It's looking like an allergic reaction.
Give him an antihistamine like cetrizine tablet daily for a week.
Apply a mild steroid cream like cortisone twice daily for a week.
It is safe and effective and usually available over the counter.
This should help him.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
