Why is my senior Chinese Crested dog restless with skin issues?

Question

My hairless Chinese crested is 13 years old, over the last few months he has changed a lot, he started getting abscesses on different areas of his body, one at a time, then they would go away, one was so bad on his arm that I took him to the hospital and they drained it and gave me meds. At night he won’t let us sleep he moves and shakes a lot and he’s up and down the bed, it seems like he has the skin issue, anxiety and allergies. Idk what could be wrong. Please help. He is eating normal. Pet's info: Dog | Chinese Crested Hairless | Male | unneutered | 13 years and 6 months old | 12 lbs

Poor Einstein, he sounds very uncomfortable. Given the recurrence of skin issues I strongly recommend further testing to determine the underlying causes and guide the most appropriate steps to manage the pain and prevnt further flare ups. Biopsy and possibly blood tests for medical causes may be required
