Acne: At this age, acne is a common cause. Try acne facial products found over the counter and avoid oil based cream in the area.

Basics: If this truly came up over night it is likely a reaction to something he put on his face/head. if so, just wash all areas involved with a soap he has tolerated in the past & it should fade in a few days. Encourage him to avoid using it again.
