Hi,
Your husband had insect bite and he developed localized rash mostly erythematous and purpuric spots. Do not worry. It may reduce with time.
However, apply antibiotic cream and give him a course of antibiotic like Doxycycline.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
