Sounds like there is a bit of infection there, I would take him to the vets for antibiotics. When there is irritation the dog licks and chews and the more he does the more likelihood he will cause an infection. With regards the chin, they will rub in on whatever, floor, furniture, scratch with paw etc and same thing happens. Its been a bad year for allergies but your vet should be able to set you straight.
