Awww....poor Marshall! I don't have advice because I've not had anything like this with our dogs, Meagan. I did wonder about the possibility of a yeast infection, a friend's dog has problems with that around her face.
Don't feel bad though, we've all missed something at one time or another. Give Marshall a hug from us, and hope he is all better soon!
If the collar isn't working for you, what about using surgical tape and taping socks onto his feet. I did this with a foster dog once to keep him from scratching, and it worked like a charm. Also, have a show breeder friend that does this to keep her boy from scratching his long coat.
