Does he use deodorants? That can often be the problem and he's having a reaction to the chemicals in it. You might try going to a natural food store or some place with natural products and get some all natural deodorant. It might do wonders for him.

It sounds like it could be an allergic reaction to something. Have you switched deoderants, soaps, laundry detergents?

To figure out what it going on, try using a laundry detergent with no fragerance, or even better use dreft (the detergent you use to wash infants clothing because their skin is so sensitive). If you have started using a new soap or deoderant, go back to your old one or buy hypoallogenic, non-fragranced products.

For the discomfort, take an antihistamine and get some anti-itch cream (Eucedrene, Gold Bond, etc)

If this doesn't work, then you may want to see a dermatologist. There are so many reasons and kinds of rashes, it's herd to say, but it sounds like hives or a reaction to something on the skin to me.
