Brief Answer:
Regarding itchy spots

Detailed Answer:
Thank you.
This spot on scalp is that of seborrheic keratosis which is usually asymptomatic. The other 2 images are not clear. You can send clear ones. Anyways, if he has itching sensation then you can ask him to take tablet Cetrizine 10mg once daily in evening for a few days.
Take care. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
