Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction, steroid antibiotic cream, antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs.
It seems to be an allergic reaction. It could be due to hair XXXXXXX application.
The allergy can start anytime in any individual.
I would recommend him to apply steroid antibiotic cream like mometasone and fusidic acid cream( Momate F cream) on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg twice daily for 10 days.
This will resolve your problem.
