It is very difficult to tell from a picture but leishmania or distemper are both possibilities as well as severe bacterial or fungal infection. A full exam by a vet would be required in order to distinguish these and it is very possible this may be life threatening. Urgent treatment is required in order to relieve his discomfort and suffering
