Brief Answer:
Seems to be papular urticaria, cortisone cream & antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it seems to be papular urticaria which is an insect bite hypersensitivity reaction.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected red areas twice daily for 5-7 days.
For itching give him antihistaminic like syrup Cetrizine 1 mg per kgbody weight per day.
This should resolve it.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
