Hi,
It may be sort of allergy to injection he took. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to give him cetirizine 10 mg tablets daily to relieve the itching. A short course of antibiotic and oral steroid in tapering dose may be considered. Apply antibiotic with steroid cream on the affected areas. Avoid soap bath. He may use dettol liq for bath.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
