Hi and thanks for your post! It is hard to say exactly what the cause of Blaze's skin condition may be without examining Blaze first, but I can offer some insights. It could be a fungal infection, bacterial infection, or due to an allergy to something in his environment like fleas. Your veterinarian can diagnose these potential conditions with a few simple skin tests. I would recommend Blaze visit his vet soon to have the possibilities above ruled out. Best to you and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
