Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
It seems like your son could be having atopic eczema. Right now I would advise using a mild soap like cetaphil for bathing and apply a good moisturiser like cetaphil/venusia max/elovera etc twice in a day. He might also need an oral antiallergic to relieve the itch and a topical steroid cream to treat the rashes. For the same consult a dermatologist nearby.
Take care
