Poor Chinna. This looks like a skin infection. Most likely bacterial or fungal. Since he has multiple sores, he will likely need some oral medicine like antibiotics prescribed by your vet. I would see your vet for medication and possible medicated shampoo to help him feel better. I hope this helps!
