Hello and welcome to the forum.
Your piggy sounds as though he is in a lot of discomfort, he will need to see the vet. They will be able to help with his scratching as it will probably be caused by skin parasites, he will need special medication to kill them safely and to treat him. He may also need antibiotics to prevent the wounds becoming infected.
If you can give your location we should be able to help with giving a recommendation for a good vet.
