My first thought was ant bites but you said it developed over night.
How long have you had the little guy?
If not ant bites it is probably a pyoderma ( infection like a Staph infection ) . You can wipe the chest with a dilute Betadine solution and let it dry. In the mean time you might want to look for antibiotics that you have left over just in case.

This is the formula you want to use until 4 weeks then switch to Fox Valley 20/50 gradually.

I agree -- looks like pyoderma. Very common in baby squirrels....Betadine works well. :great
