From the pics, it seems to be a chronic skin infection. Probably a mixed infection.
You need to consult a vet, probably the vet will prescribe oral medicines, local applicants and bath! It will take a lot of time to get corrected, needs your effort and patience

Skin lesions can be due to many etiology. It can be due to pathogens like bacteria or fungus, ectoparasites like ticks, fleas or mites, or it can be even due to allergies or hormonal imbalance.
The best way to successful treat a skin issue is to know the root cause and treat them with specific treatment.
It can't be cured in few days. It will take its own time based on the issue.
Better take him to a veterinarian so that they will diagnosis the condition and give you the exact treatment plan.
