I'd recommend taking him to the vet...could be allergies, could be mites or fleas...could be anything...get him to a vet so they can properly diagnose it and suggest treatment.

I agree that a vet visit would be in order. As Tina stated, it could be almost anything, fungal, bacterial, allergies, flea or mite bites, stress, and more.
Here is a link on various skin conditions that may interest you, but still only through poroper diagnostics will a vet be able to determine the cause and give treatment.

I hope whatever is causing your kitty to have such a skin condition can be easily cured. Please let us know how he is doing, ok?
