Well, Good news, Sven is loosing the scurvy. But, where his hair is growing back, he has a rash.
I'm wondering if maybe this was caused my my other pig's claws on his bare bum with his sensitive skin while they were finding dominance?
What can I do to help it heal?

Picture?

Try some cold pressed virgin coconut oil if it doesn't look infected (not red/hot/swollen/with pus/etc).

I think I'd put a bit of triple antibiotic ointment on it, twice a day, for a few days. Apply with a q-tip, and rub it in well so his cagemate doesn't lick it.
