This sounds like it could be a skin infection in Denver and he may need antibiotics to help clear it up. If he is itchy at all it may be related to an allergy and constantly scratching or licking the area may make it worse. You could try putting some OTC cortisone cream on the area and/or neosporin and see if that helps (just make sure he doesn't lick it off). If that doesn't seem to help it may be time for a trip to the vet. Oftentimes these infections require antibiotics to fully fix the problem.
