Scabby skin on old cat

My cat tigg who mainly live outdoors is about 15 odd years old he has got v.thick fur and when i brush him we can see his skin is very dry and bits of flaky skin comes out in the brush. He also has scabby lumps and scratches. He is a very tame lovely cat but when you attempt to pick him up or poke him he will not sit still and will start scratching the person. He was a rescue cat and is now very well looked after but because he lives outside he prone to bushes and other cats maybe. Do you think that the vet would be able to sedate him and then give him a intensive antiseptic batheing kind of thing? Any other advice would be appreciated. He lives outside out of his own will and we do worm him and feed him properly etc... Thanks
