Poor Scooby! It looks like he is suffering from a skin infection which could have originally started from allergies. And he is likely making it worse by chewing himself. First I would place an e-collar on him to prevent the chewing and licking. You can try to give him 1/2 of an adult 25 mg Benadryl to help with the itching. He will likely need to see your vet for some stronger medications like antibiotics to help heal the infection and stronger allergy medicine to help with itching. I hope this helps and he starts to feel better soon.
