Hard to say: This could be a simple bug bite reaction or even an infection.Since you did not provide an age or other specifics I cannot be more specific.

Several things: It could be an insect bite, ringworm, a local allergic reaction to something he came in contact with. It's impossible to say without seeing it. If it doesn't improve or if it worsens, you should see his doctor.
