Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain skin rashes and urticaria or itching can be due to Contact Allergic Dermatitis and can be due to a number of causes like poison ivy,certain washing detergents, leather, latex,any foods or medicines etc..
You should consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like antibody specific RAST TEST, Food challenge test and Patch test can help in confirming the cause and once the exact allergen is diagnosed avoiding exposure to the allergen can help..
An immunotherapy can be given to your son to reduce the severity of allergic reaction..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
