HI...Hand foot mouth disease cannot go on like this chronically. This seems like a insect bite allergy. This requires oral anti allergic medications for symptom relief occasionally. But your son might grow of this allergy as his age progresses.
You can use Hydroxyzine at 1-2mg/kg/dose every 6th to 8th hourly for symptomatic relief.
This is a prescription drug and I suggest you see your pediatrician for this.
