Due to the location it looks like Grumpthy may have fleas. Fleas can be very itchy and in turn create a skin infection. I would recommend flea/tick protection. I would also recommend an appointment with your veterinarian. They could provide a good physical examination to determine if that is what is causing the lesions at the base of his tail.
