Hi,
welcome to HCM!
It appears primarily that your son is suffering from a fungal skin infection.
He needs to take an antifungal oral tablet and apply anti fungal cream locally. If itching is present, he might also need a anti histaminic like cetrizine to get relief.
I' d suggest you to visit a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis after examining it.
Fungal infections commonly occur due to poor hygiene and poor immunity.
Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.
With warm regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
