Wash the area thoroughly with soap and water if you haven't already done so.
Then, apply a paste made of baking soda and water. Just enough water to
wet the baking soda to make it into a paste. Calamine lotion or calendula
ointment will also work if you can get them, but the baking soda should give
him immediate relief.
