It is possibly an allergic reaction. Most likely the skin injuries he has got are self-inflicted from scratching and biting. If the scratching and licking is continuous, you should take Pluto to your local vets to get anti-allergic medication by injection. Skin ointments or creams are not effective in dogs that are having a bad allergic reaction, like Pluto.
