Is Daxter a Syrian since you mention scent glands? How old is he?

I wouldn't give vitamin drops because everything a hamster needs should come from the food.

A pinch of brown linseeds daily is good for their fur and can make a difference.

As long as the skin looks healthy and not red or sore and he doesn't scratch or bite the area excessively, i wouldn't be too alarmed at this point.

You say that you deep cleaned his cage two days ago. If you have removed all his scent he may have been rubbing himself against things trying to scent everything.
