I'd recommend keeping the area clean and dry. You could even put a bit of neosporin on it 2-3 times a day and then keep him distracted for 10 minutes so it has a chance to be absorbed. If it continues to get more red or has any discharge, he'll need to go to the vet, but hopefully it will start to heal up on it's own.
