he could have scabies(no worries) or the start of a communicable disease like chicken pox or a reaction to a recent vaccine.  My grandson got the chicken pox at one month old so it is not impossible.  Check with your doctor.  Also make sure he's not allergic to shampoo and that you rinse all shampoos thoroughly.  Has he bee checked for head lice?  In adults it shingles as a usual cause and shingles is chicken pox in adults.  Did you doctor do a swab to check it out?
