Brief Answer:
Either insect bite hypersensitivity reaction or eczematous rash

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs though they are not very clear.
It seems to be either insect bite hypersensitivity reaction or eczematous rash.
If I was his treating doctor I would recommend you to apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like syrup Cetrizine 1 mg per kgbody weight per day for 10-14 days.
This should resolve it.
