If your puppy has a dermatitis, he could have fleas, mites, bacterial infection skin infection, or an allergy causing the dermatitis. You could bathe him with a anti-microbial medicated dog shampoo and see if that helps. Make sure to feed him a high quality dog food. Also, use a monthly flea and tick prevention, like NexGard, Frontline, Revolution, etc. once he is old enough. If the dermatitis continues then he should be examined by a vet as he may need an antibiotic, anti-histamine, and/or a corticosteroid to treat.
