Brief Answer:
Use a soothing lotion

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the image.

Definitely seems a result of rough playing/ handling on carpet. Most likely his back was rubbing vigorously against the carpet while playing. I can see linear red marks. I advice you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion on his back. I think that should make it ok.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
