Yes, I agree with what's been suggested so far - could be an allergic reaction to something external (plant, fabric, litter?), skin condition reaction to fleas maybe? Oh dear!!

It could be a hot spot (an irritated skin patch basically), a place where he got his fur caught and pulled out a tuft accidentally, or as Mario's mom said, allergies or stress.
