Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Your history points towards two possible conditions.1.is condition from family of eczema (allergic condition and reactions of skin) known as psoriasis Alba. This may be due to antibiotics or any other triggering factor. Treated by topical steroids (that suppress immune reactions) moisturizing and avoidance of trigger2.is a condition called Tina tricolor.It's caused by fungal infection of skin. It is treated by antifungals. The conditions are differentiated by dermatologist. They will examine your sons skin scraping under microscope if fungi are visible then this is Tina Alba if not then its psoriasis albacore you find this answer satisfactory. Good luck
