Hi, From the description it seems he might be having these lesions due to sun allergy known as polymorphous light eruptions. To treat the same, you may apply a mild steroid cream like cultivate cream twice in a day over his lesions. Also, he should avoid sun exposure as much as possible. If the lesions are very itchy, you may give him syrup cetirizine. Hope that helps. Take care.
