Could be many things, something as preventable as a flea bite, or a tick stuck in there. Also something that needs to treated by a veterinarian like ringworm (it's a type of fungi) that will keep growing if not treated.
Yes,cats can have rashes but you have to determine what type it is, if shampoo and conditioning does not work buy him some medicine.Check if it is not something simple like cat acne and determine the type of rash, look at the color of the skin.Take him to the vet as soon as possible even if rash get's better to determine what caused it and how it can be prevented in the future.
You would need to have your cat examined by a veterinarian - rashes can be caused by anything from parasite infestations to bacterial infections to autoimmune disease. There is nothing you can do at home that I could recommend, mostly because there is a significant risk of making the rash worse by trying the wrong thing.
Whenever you see something unusual in the cat like a rash, your first point of call should be to the vet, unless you can locate the cause of the rash. Like what are they eating? Something that would cause a rash?
Yes, you can get an infection and a rash from being scratched by a cat. If you get scratched by a cat, you should wash the affected area with soap and water as soon as possible.

An example of "scratch" used as a verb is: "She scratched her head in confusion while trying to solve the puzzle."
Not all felines will exhibit a licking behavior when their back is being scratched. The licking behavior, while common, is more of an individualistic behavior, and most likely a grooming response. When the cats back is being scratched, the cat feels something similar to self grooming or grooming from another cat, and some will lick the air in time with the stroking. Licking in response to stroking or scratching is not necessarily a species wide behavior however, and not all cats will react similarly. A response that is very close to being species wide is the movement when the base of their tail is scratched. Most cats will stiffen the legs and tail, raising their posterior high on straightened legs and many will additionally appear to point their lower jaw, stiffen the neck and turn their head toward their back. Most experts suggest that cats enjoy having the base of their tail scratched... 1.) Because it is sexually stimulating, and 2.) because this is an area inhabited by fleas and scratching there relieves an itch. I suspect that both may be factual. It is not advisable to attempt this scratching on a cat you are not very familiar with, as some will be inclined to bite when the base of their tail is scratched; especially if the scratching is done a bit too aggressively.
Scratch is a verb. The past tense form is scratched. Example: The cat scratched my arm.
