Personally, i would take him to a vet who knows about hamsters in case the scent gland has become infected. They don't normally stink so he may have an infection.
I would also get his teeth checked and mention the weight loss.

I cleaned it off but it just looks swollen, red and kinda infected.
I’m going to try thyme and then if he doesn’t improve then I will take him to the vet.
