6 Yr Old Son, Itching Inside Elbow, Doing Funny Things With Arms. What Could Be This?

My 6 yr old son does this funny thing with his arms for the past 3 weeks and when I ask him why he is doing it, he says his elbows itch inside. Not inside the crease but inside his elbow. So I ask him if I can itch it for him, and he says it doesn't itch on the skin it itches inside. It is so bazaar how do I help him?
