I'm afraid it depends on what is causing the skin irritation - without more information, it's hard to give much specific advice. In general, bathing in aloe and oatmeal dog shampoo is a good, safe option that may provide some relief for some skin problems. Often, though, a diagnosis and prescription medication from your veterinarian may be needed in order to determine what is causing the problem and treat it effectively.
