It sounds like Rook is definitely very uncomfortable. If you really are unable to have him ctopical hecked out (which I would strongly recommend based on how serious the skin condition sounds), the at home remedies I would recommend include flea / tick treatment, medicated bathing, and medications such as benadryl. You will also want to apply an e-collar to Rook to prevent any further licking and biting that is causing a worsening condition while the situation is getting under control. If none of these are working in an appreciable amount, I would tell you to begin to try and save a little bit to have him checked out. Their are prescription medications that might work really well in getting the itchiness under control and make Rook a happier dog. Hope this helps.
