Accepted Answer

Itch begets itch: Your 5 year old son has sensitive skin and might be dry. There is a term called dermatographism when you turn red in the areas that you scratch.  This redness looks like hives.  There is no known cause, but sometimes heat makes it worse and antihistamines help. Cool refrigerated moisturizers always help too.

Accepted Answer

See dermatologist: If the itching is so bothersome, you should consult a dermatologist since dry skin is apparently not the issue.
