My dog has been biting the same spot and just yesterday i noticed a patch of fur missing and it looks really sore, he doesn't have fleas as he has a new flea collar on. So thinking it may be some kind of skin allergy?

It is likely an allergy from a bite or something in the environment. You can give him a bath to soothe his skin and apply topical cortisone cream to help with the redness. If it continues then you will need to see your vet for medicine before a hot spot develops
