Brief Answer:
Eczematous rash, topical steroid, moisturising cream & antihistaminic.
Detailed Answer:
Hi!
According to your complaints it seems to be eczematous rash.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily along with frequent and liberal application of a moisturising cream on the entire face 2-3 times a day.
If he is having irritation you can give him antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine at night.nThis will resolve this rash.
Hope I have answered your query.
