Poor guiness! I strongly recommend you seek referral to a dermatologist in order to fully explore the extent of his injuries, it is likely a severe infection has developed in the skin damaged by itching or allergies or he may also have contracted mange. Skin scrapes or a biopsy may be required to investigate further and he will likely need both oral and topical medications
