It sounds like Diesel has a serious infection. I recommend to have him examined by the veterinarian. Antibiotics will clear this up significantly faster. He also needs to have a hair clipped short around the area and he needs to wear an Elizabethan collar at all times to protect it from scratching or for the trauma. Have him examined today. Best of luck.
