Brief Answer:
Possibility of fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images.

I can see dry looking patches and bumps on the skin. This seems like fungal infection. I suggest you to try a topical antifungal e.g 2% ketoconazole cream, twice daily for a few days. You may also give him tab. levocetrizine 5mg once a day in evening. These are prescription medications.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance
