This looks like it could be mange (especially if it’s very itchy). Selamectin ot ivermectin can be used for this. Talk to your vet about what products are available and the proper dose. It could also be an alopecia (hair loss) of unknown cause. It could be an auto immune disease or other things as well. Best of luck to you and Ziggy!
