It could be the beginning of mites, so you'd best have him checked over by a good vet; not wanting to be touched is often the first indication of them. Please don't home treat on spec, as you could make the problem worse. Shop products are geared for the prevention and not the treatment of mites and dosed too low for the latter.

We have a recommended piggy savvy UK vets locator if you haven't got a comepetent vet yet.
