Without seeing him, it is difficult to say definitively what may be happening. After fleas, consider mites or I faction (bacterial or fungal). Allergies or food sensitivities are also possibly. Keep the area clean and dry. Use an e-collar (cone) to prevent licking or chewing. If the bumps spread or the hair loss worsens, consider and exam with your veterinarian. Antibiotics or anti-histamines may be indicated. Discuss allergy testing, hydrolyzed diets and food elimination trials with your veterinarian.
