Extremely Itchy Feet, Sleeplessness, Rashes. Taken Benadryl. Help?

my son has extremely itchy feet after swimming at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. He is so uncomfortable that he is unable to sleep. he has been taking benadryl which has offered little relief. we have also done epsom salt bath with mint which helps for about 5 minutes. is there any thing else that can be done? he does not have a rash...
