I would recommend you take him to the vet for the scar, as it could be anything from hot spots, to mange...
As far as his biting, he is "Teething", and will need an outlet for his gums, as they are hurting!
So, get him lots of bones, and rope toys to help ease his frustration!
This way when he starts to go after you for a game, but, it hurts you, bring out the toy and play rope tug!
Great fun, and will teach him where you want him to bite, not on you!
I have a new E book: "And Puppy Makes 3, or 4, etc."
$5.99, go to our publisher's site: www.heartsonfirebooks.com
This will give you loads of help for training, and lots of resources online to assist you with your dog!
Best wishes,
