Lesions that look like that are commonly bacterial infections, ringworm (which humans can get) or skin mites. A trip to your veterinarian is the best way to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment fast. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hmm this skin lesion could be ringworm or some other kind of infection. I recommend a vet visit for a skin scraping to determine what is causing the hair loss. He may need to be on antibiotics or anti-fungal medication.
