The first thing you need to rule out is ringworm, there is a very high chance that this is what it is. ringworm can infect humans too so you need to be careful, minimize contact with him and use gloves when you touch him. you will need to take him to your vet ASAP, a simple test for ringworm will confirm or rule out this condition, then he can be treated for it.
