Itching: There are plenty of topical medicines and salves for that. In addition after applying them you can put on socks and tape them around the ankles so he can't pull them off.

Red rash in hand, foot , mouth disease do not cause itching but blistering on the palms, on the soles and sometimes the buttocks. You can certainly give him any antihistamines that’s locally available in your country for his itching or consult with your pediatrician.
