Hi--we are neighbors I think. My practice is on Redington Shores.

At any rate, it sounds like it may be some skin allergies, with a secondary staph infection causing the sores. The pollen and mold allergies cause itchy skin in dogs, not hay fever like in people. He probably needs some medication for allergies and some antibiotics for the staph, if that is indeed the case. I would let a vet look at him so they can get it taken care of.
