Sorry it is not possible to diagnose this from a photo. This needs to be seen by a veterinarian for a skin exam. This could be a fungal infection, skin tumors, bacterial infection and other skin conditions caused by autoimmune disease or even contact with a chemical or other irritating substance. I strongly suggest your client make make an appointment with his vet for an exam.
