It is hard to say much without seeing what you are talking about. The only advice I can give you at this time is to stop him from licking it. The way to do this is with an Elizabethan collar (cone). Be sure to get the correct size. It must be long enough to go past the end of his nose otherwise he will be able to lick around the collar. https://www.amazon.in/Alcoa-Prime-Elizabethan-Durable-Healing/dp/B0745KZG3X/ref=sr_1_3?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1506254857&sr=8-3&keywords=dog+accessories+collar+elizabethan I am not sure what type of skin disease you are referring to. If you would like to post again with more specifics and photos that may be more helpful.
