Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. This could be allergies. I would recommend the below products and see if these help. These products can all be found online quite easily. If there is no improvement or the allergies worsen, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine Bear so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. 1. Welactin omega 3 fish oil 2. Douxo PS Calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly 3. Essential 6 spot on by Dermoscent 4. Malacetic conditioning spray and apply to affected areas twice daily until resolved.
