His condition sounds like a simple case of Staph infection? Is he on any antibiotics? Staph has a way of going systemic fast. And be careful yourself if it is Staph, you can contract it as well!
I have never used diapers, but I have used crop bras and hen saddles. Some birds take to "clothing" immediately, some adapt over several days and some NEVER take to them.
Start out putting it on loosely if possible, not too baggy he gets caught in it, but loose enough he doesn't feel restricted. Take it off at night. Over the next few days, tighten it up bit by bit. This may help him to get used to wearing it.
