Maybe he is just tired and he keeps scratching his leg because he is tired. Make sure he doesn't rub his eyes.
Most likely, they're chiggers.

Wash his clothes in HOT water.
To smuther the chiggers and stop the itching put vics vapor rub on areas affected. The petroleom suffocates them and the methanol relieves itching. You can also mix camphor and phenol in mineral spirits, works wonders.
It could also be sand fleas - they're smaller than the usual fleas that you see on cats & dogs, but they love some people and bite like crazy. Benedryl will help the itching.
