can apply calamine lotion on the affected area locallyt

Hi dear,
Fever is always an indication of infection. Skin lesions need to be visualised directly to come to a diagnosis. Its always better to take him to a doctor to see if it needs antibiotics or any blood investigations to find out the cause.
Take care. Don't worry he will be fine.
