My dog is having yellowish-green flaky rash sort of thing over his belly area and legs he is almost busy all the time scratching which leaves the area red after being scratched...he has also started to lose hair from these regions and the hairs have become too less sort of disappearing.

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. From your description, it sounds as though Jojo is fighting a bacterial skin infection. It is hard to say for sure without pictures being unable to examine him. I would recommend a chlorhexidine based shampoo such as Douxo PS chlorhexidine combination shampoo and bathe twice weekly until the infection is resolved. A spray such as malacetic conditioning spray should also be used and applied to the affected area 2-3 times daily until resolved. These can be found online quite easily and if you are unable to get these delivered to your area, something comparable should suffice. If the skin condition worsens I would recommend having a veterinarian examine him 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.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Jojo. I agree that the skin does appear infected. He should see his veterinarian for skin testing. Mites such as demodex are common in young animals. Ringworm can cause crusty lesions and hairloss as well. Finally, an allergy to his diet is possible or to something in environment. Allergies are generally accompanied by intense itching. In the meantime, you can bathe him with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula to soothe the skin. I hope this information helps!
