IT sounds as Bruce has at least 2 problems, skin and ears. both these condition will require diagnosis and prescription medications, the ear infection will need to be checked in order to know what is causing it (yeast/bacteria/mites), the skin problem could be mange, fleas, yeast or allergies and this needs to be diagnosed prior to treat as well. i strongly recommend taking Bruce to the vet ASAP in order to sort those two things out.
