Hello,
Without examination,confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but it can be contact dermatitis,insect or bug bites or scabies.

Give him some antihistaminics like Benadryl and apply calamine lotion on the rashes.Also keep the mattress in sun for 1-2 days.If the symptoms persist then pls get allergies and scabies ruled out.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or in case you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
