Looking at your description this could be suggestive of injury or inflammation of during sex, STI or other infection and an allergic reaction
Chances of streptococci or staphylococci infection are less likely.

His age and relevant medical history
is he having any kind of discharge
In my opinion he should keep it clean and apply antiseptic ointment
If it gets worsen or doesn't improve than he should consult your doctor for physical check up and detailed evaluation
Maintain good hygiene
use condoms during sex until it heals completely
