Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is not considered normal during the shedding period for any dog to develop skin problems. It is difficult to say definitively from your photos, but I am highly suspicious of some bacterial or allergic skin disease going on. He may need treatment with an antibacterial shampoo, or he may need stronger medications such as oral antibiotics or prescription allergy medications. Please see your veterinarian at your earliest convenience to rule out some of these issues & help Prince grow a beautiful coat.
