Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Application of Hydrocortisone cream or Calamine lotion will work well. He can take non-sedating antihistamines (Levocetirizine) once or twice daily for 5-7 days. He should take care of his hygiene & regular shower. Let him stay away from direct contact of sunlight as it may trigger his discomfort, use of chemical cosmetic lotions or harsh soap should be avoided. Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Nupur K.

These rashes might be scabies or insect bite hypersensitivity. Treatment options are different for two conditions. So, I advise you to consult your nearby Dermatologist for confirming the diagnosis and initiating proper treatment.
