Dog scabs after grooming: Best topical cream for skin irritation?

Question

Hi my Westie cross dog has scabs along his back, it always seems to happen after he's been to the groomers. I have been given some treatment shampoo from the vet but was wondering if there was any sort of cream available to rub straight into his skin ?? Many thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 6 years and 7 months old | 20 lbs

It sounds like he has a dermatitis and may need an oral antibiotic, antihistamine, and/or a corticosteroid to treat the problem. For topical treatment, using a medicated dog shampoo and/or a topical spray, like Betagen spray usually works well!
