Get a wet facecloth or paper towel, and clean it off for him. Expect plenty of protest at the indignity of it all, and if it has dried on there it might take a few tries. Once he is clean it ought to be less itchy, but if it happens again, a vet trip is in order.
If it is wet tail, that is very serious and vet visit is required quickly.
