Brief Answer:
Likely to be due to an allergic reaction
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. I have checked the attached images. The rashes and itchiness are likely to be due to an allergic reaction. You may give him some antiallergic like cetirizine or benadryl (or possibly better ones like fexofenadine or loratidine which are prescription medicines) and that should help in reducing the rashes and itchiness. You can apply some emollient like calamine lotion or some moisturizer like aloe vera lotion topically.
It might take a few days to recover and so you need to be patient.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
