It is difficult to know how to treat his skin problem without doing an examination and determining the cause of his skin problem. He could have an allergy, skin infection, ringworm, fleas, mites, etc. and the treatment would depend on the cause. You could bathe him with a medicated dog shampoo and treat him for fleas with a monthly flea prevention, like Frontline, NexGard, etc. and see if that helps. Otherwise, he needs to be examined by a vet to determine the cause and prescribe the appropriate medications to treat.
