The cause of the itching needs to be investigated. He could have a mites, fleas, a food allergy, or an allergic reaction to something, especially if the bumps came up suddenly. Diesel should be seen by your vet to determine why he's so itchy and get him started on treatment. Depending on their findings, you vet may recommend medicated baths, sips, antibiotics, or a different food, or some combination of these to fit his needs.
