Hello and welcome to HCM,
I read your query and understood your concern.
If your husband has not been out since 2 days its unlikely that this is sunburn. It sounds like a hypersensitivity reaction to insect bite.
Give oral anti histaminics like cetrizine or loratadine, and apply topical soothing agents like calamine during day time and mild steroid like hydrocortisone at night.
Dont let him scratch it much.
Hope I helped
