Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Teething uncommonly occurs at this age. Infants around the age of 3 months frequently put their hands in their mouths as a way to get to know their bodies: they use their mouth for eating and for exploring their bodies and the world around them. In a few months (around the age of 6-7 months), you will notice that your son will be pulling up his legs and putting his feet in his mouth, also for the same reason.
Regarding that your son keeps irritatingly itching his face, their must be something that is annoying him, like a noxious smell perhaps (tobacco for example).
