Hi...by what you quote it seems like a hand foot mouth disease (HFMD) for me. The symptom of pimple like things on his fingers and hands is classical of HFMD. I suggest you use Hydroxyzine for itching and do not apply any topical calamine of any other emollients as it can spread. It will be itching a lot and gradually get better in a week or two. Sometimes after 406 weeks there can be intense skin peeling.
