Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! It sounds like you are describing perfectly a bacterial skin infection. If it is all over his body he should see a Vet for oral antibiotics. You can try a medicated shampoo by bathing him twice weekly and leaving the later on for 10 minutes before rinsing. At 8 weeks he should be seeing a Vet now for vaccinations, deworming and starting heart worm and flea/tick prevention. I wish you the best! https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=27975
