Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have checked the details as well as the attached image. The redness is typical of a tick bite and requires immediate medical attention. Please take him to the ER at the earliest.
Cannot say if there are a lot of chiggers in the place where you are. But even one tick is sufficient. Please do not delay taking him to the doctors.
