This could be ringworm ,this could also be mites or a bacterial infection, you will need to take him to the vet in order to find out what it is exactly as it is impossible to tell from a picture alone.

It's probably a mite infestation, it could also be ringworm. i would recommend taking Spiky to the vet in order to get it checked and treated, these conditions are totally different and treated with different medications.

I still can't tell for sure, it may be ringworm, it may be a self inflicted wound from scratching and it could also be a bacterial infection. you should take him to your vet and get it checked if it doesn't resolve itself soon.
