What Causes Itching Around The Nail Beds Of Big Toes?

My 10 year old son is complaining that he is itching around the nail beds of primarily his big toes. To look at his toes you would not know there was an issue. he feels it on both feet. There is no symptoms anywhere except the nail bed bilaterally. Thanks for your help.
