Oh my. Poor puppy. His skin is very suspicious of Demodexx mites or Scabies. An underlying flea allergy is also possible. Food allergies are typically not seen in pets this young. On average we see food allergies arise around 2 years of age because they develop over time. I would highly recommend taking Hansung in to your vet to have the skin tested for mites first, especially since this is a vet likely cause. If it is mites then the vet can prescribe medicine to rid the mites and also antibiotics to treat for that severe skin infection he has as well. There are no over the counter products that will help his skin at this point. Poor guy. With proper care and a vet visit you should be able to get a handle on your pet Hansungs skin condition and secondary skin infection. Best of luck to you and take care.
