It sounds like your iggy is scared and not warm enough.You did not mention what sort of cage you have for him and what you have on the floor of the cage.the skin infection is propably caused by a dirty flooring.You iggy needs something to climb on and something to hide in.It needs a light during the day that gives him enough heat that he feels warm if you touch him and you can use a heatpad under the tank at night.it is not good to keep the light on all the time.iguanas have to sleep like anybody else.When you put him into the sun do not put him in a glass cage.it would overheat.Use a screen cage.You can build one yourself.Make it safe so he cannot get out and other animals cannot get in.Give him also some shade so if he gets too hot he can get out of the sun.baby iguanas overheat fast and die.You have to read more about how to take care of them.there is plenty of information on the internet.Read as much as you can.Most websites I found were sources of good information.
