Alone that abnormality isn't concerning at all. It does mean his red blood cells are a little less dark than expected, but with a normal red blood cell count it isn't something significant. As far as the itching, that can be caused by allergies to food, fleas, or the environment, or infections (bacteria, yeast, parasites), or other issues with how the skin is formed. If this allergy test was normal (and all infections have been ruled out), I would talk to your vet about hypoallergenic food trial.
