Hi
The kind of peeling of skin your son has developed could be secondary to viral rash and could be suggestive of a healing rash .
The second possibility is that of a fungal infection .
You should try to keep the areas moisturised by regular application of a skin moisturiser.
Healing rash should recover soon ,however of it tends to persist or increase,see a nearby dermatologist.
