Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is not possible to know this without an examination. You may be referring to irritation secondary to allergies. I highly recommend that you consider having him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for this possibility and treat accordingly. Good luck and have a great day!
