Hi all, below is a picture of my Betta, i'm pretty sure he's ill but have no idea what the problem is after searching.

He usually swims around quite a lot and even chases some of the other fish, but recently he has been lying on the bottom of the tank or floating near the surface barely moving. His fins look 'clamped' and raggedy. Today I noticed some white patches / skin issues (see picture), I have no idea what they are but they look really bad!
Please help me, I have no idea what to do or what is wrong with him and I fear he doesn't have long if I don't help!
