It may be an [allergic reaction](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/hypersensitivity-reactions-in-cats-and/) from getting bitten or stung by something, or coming in contact with something he is sensitive to. Your vet can recommend a dose of Benadryl, which is an antihistamine. It's not legal for me to recommend specific doses since I haven't examined Boau. If the hives don't get better, then I would take him to a vet.

Hi, thanks for using Petcoach! Based on your description is could be hives but I agree there shouldn't be a crust on top of a hive. I think he may have a skin infection. When the bumps pop they leave a crust. I have a pitty too and they have sensitive skin and are prone to skin infections. You can continue the bendadryl every 8 hours to see if it helps. Bu also start bathing him 2-3 times per week in a medicated shampoo. If it doesn't get better I recommend seeing your vet. they can prescribe antibiotics if needed. Here is a good shampoo. https://www.amazon.com/Dechra-TrizChlor-4-Shampoo-8-Ounce/dp/B00K4X8TF6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1500736921&sr=8-3&keywords=4+chlorhexidine+shampoo+for+dogs
