Great job getting rid of the fleas! Yes, it can be normal to have scabs and hair falling out if there was a flea infestation. I would recommend you bathe your dog with a medicated shampoo like this one every 3-4 days until the skin looks better. It will take a while for the hair to grow back. Use the shampoo as directed on the label. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Veterinary-Formula-Clinical-Care-Medicated-Shampoo-for-Dogs-Cats-Antiseborrheic-Antidandruff-16-0-FL-OZ/207485799 I hope this helps!
