I'm afraid there's not likely much you can do at home. I would recommend to take him back into the veterinarian to discuss his case and decide what the next steps should be. The 4 main things that will create his skin conditions are food allergy, flea allergy, environmental allergy or thyroid problems. Each one will need to be hunted down to determine if it is the cause or not. The doctor may need to use a steroid to get Frankie's skin under control as it sounds pretty bad. I hope your baby starts feeling better asap!
